An international influence, a rich and fascinating history, and an unequaled quality of spectacle have made him the most famous cabaret in the world.

Since its creation, the Moulin Rouge has seen artists perform on its legendary stage, all more talented than each other. At its beginnings, the Goulue, muse of Toulouse-Lautrec who caused so much talk about it with his acolyte Valentin-le-Désossé, both revolutionized the famous and the only French Cancan.

The sparkling Mistinguett will also register a new genre: ever larger and more spectacular magazines, which will make the Moulin Rouge the cradle of MusicHall.

Without forgetting all these renowned artists who have performed on the Moulin Rouge stage such as Jean Gabin, Edith Piaf, Yves Montand, Line Renaud, Dean Martin, Frank Martin, Frank Sinatra, Charles Trenet, Charles Aznavour, Lisa Minnelli, Elton John, Ray Charles or Ella Fiztgerald.

The beautiful history of the cabaret, source of inspiration of many artists has often been highlighted by the 7th art, with in particular the film 'French Cancan' produced in 1954 by Jean Renoir, the film 'Moulin Rouge' by John Huston in 1952 , or the legendary film 'Moulin Rouge' by Baz Luhrmann released in 2001, and many literary and artistic works - paintings, plays, musicals ...

Crossing times, two wars and even a devastating fire in 1915, it evolves with the times and will become in the 40s, and for a few years, the largest cinema in Europe.

It was in 1951, the date of the revival and its new room with Belle Epoque decor created by Henri Mahé, that the Moulin Rouge put on stage the major magazines of Music-Hall for the greatest pleasure of its spectators. The first review 'Frou-Frou' in 1963 was so successful that the decision was made to start all the titles of the reviews with an "F". A flawless success will follow! Each evening, spectators are invited to plunge into the warm atmosphere of its mythical room and spend an exceptional moment, timeless, surrounded by small red lamps that muffle the atmosphere, frescoes, posters of origins and famous paintings of Toulouse-Lautrec.

After 130 years of a rich and sensational life, the largest French cabaret continues to inspire dreams with its current magazine 'Féerie'! 2 performances per evening, 60 artists on stage, sumptuous decorations handcrafted by exceptional craftsmen, original music, two hours of wonder mixing danced tables and surprise numbers, without forgetting the most emblematic dance of the Moulin Rouge , the French Cancan!

It is a dream world that is invented on stage every evening with more than 1000 costumes of feathers, rhinestones and sequins made to measure with meticulousness by our Arts houses.

The theater is particularly keen to preserve the unique know-how in the production of show and Music-Hall costumes. Recently, he bought several of these workshops, Maison February for feathers, Maison Clairvoy for shoes and Atelier Valentin for embroidery.

'Féerie', the review of all records has been applauded since its creation by more than 10 million spectators from all over the world!

After the glitter in the eyes, the glitter on the plate! Over time, the cabaret is always more qualitative and today delights the most gourmands with the arrival of chef David Le Quellec, who made the Moulin Rouge the first cabaret to appear in the gastronomic guide of Gault & Millau.

A true French symbol, it will continue to shine around the world and figure as a must-see and re-visit in Paris. At the foot of the Montmartre hill, the wings of the Mill have been turning for 130 years and will continue to turn again and again while continuing to make us dream.

Happy Birthday to the Moulin Rouge!
