Originally a popular cabaret and ballroom, the venue became an iconic music hall during the golden 20th century and later a theater where numerous French and international artists stepped into the limelight. Today, the Moulin Rouge and its 60 artists perform the Féerie revue show: a two-hour amazing cabaret and music hall performance in which dance scenes and surprise numbers alternate – not forgetting the Moulin Rouge’s signature dance, the French cancan! Since its inception, the Moulin Rouge in Paris has invited the public to live and experience together the unique atmosphere of celebration and the turmoil of emotions. www.moulinrouge.fr
