Moulin Rouge Show - Pigalle Paris

Francois mentioned that we were already in Pigalle Paris, sections of which are devoted to the French sex industry, making it known to locals and tourists alike as the red light district of Paris France.

We found ourselves on the Boulevard de Clichy, where we got a glimpse of sex shops (facade, at least) and encountered a few prostitutes who eagerly offered their wares.

Finally, we came to the establishment that everyone must have already seen countless times on photos and films - the Moulin Rouge. Going down the station Blanche, you will readily see the Moulin. It will immediately capture your attention, what with its flamboyantly reddish colored facade and its windmill on the roof.

Moulin Rouge Show - Enjoy Can-Can Dances
Moulin Rouge was not always the legitimate entertainment establishment that I thought it was but was originally a brothel. It already offered shows, but the early dancers exposed much of their skin to the outrage of the public. Over time, the cabaret evolved into a more decent musical entertainment venue. The modern Moulin Rouge show features many acrobatics while the usual vulgarity disappeared. Now it is widely accepted and patronized by the French high society.



Care for Moulin Rouge Tickets?

Needless to say, the Moulin Rouge cabaret is a huge tourist attraction of Paris France. It offers the best of musical entertainment like the can-can dance. I would love to watch a Moulin Rouge can-can show, but the price of the Moulin Rouge tickets, 150 euros, forbids me to do so. It's simply beyond your author's reach.
