An Evening at the Moulin Rouge

The Moulin Rouge opened its doors in 1889, the same year the Eiffel Tower was built, and, it's still the #1 cabaret show in Europe. Famous as the place where the Cancan was created, Moulin Rouge also achieved notoriety through painter Toulouse-Lautrec, whose posters of the nightclub helped to spread its reputation. Moulin Rouge is one of those places that every visitor to Paris has to experience at least once.
