The Moulin Rouge (in Italian, literally "Mulino Rosso"), located in the famous Rosse-light district of Pigalle, at the XVIII Arrondissement of Paris, near Montmartre is one of the most famous local in Paris, opened on 6 October 1891 by Charles Zidler And from Joseph Oller.
The original headquarters of the theater, which was burning in 1915, had been co-founded in 1889 by Charles Zidler and by Joseph Oller (the latter was also owner of Paris's Olympia). Located near Montmartre in the Pigalle district, on Boulevard de Clichy, the room became particularly famous for the presence of a red windmill on the roof of the structure, which precisely gave its name to the room.
The Moulin Rouge is universally known to be the spiritual birthplace of the can-can. Originally introduced as a seductive dance used by courtesans who found themselves to entertain customers, Can-Can became a real show form, from Moulin Rouge to all Cabaret in Europe. Currently the Moulin Rouge, which is still operational as a local, is mainly a tourist attraction that offers music shows and dance to visitors around the world. The interior is decorated with a style still typically Fin de siècle.
