A Moulin Rouge official confirmed that the iconic windmill sails of the Parisian cabaret collapsed for the first time in its 134-year history overnight. The incident occurred at 2 a.m., shortly after the venue’s last show had ended. Fortunately, there is no further risk of collapse, according to Paris firefighters.
The collapse resulted in the first three letters of “Moulin” being knocked off the venue’s signage. According to the official, the incident happened after closing and that the cabaret’s technical teams had not noticed any problems with the windmill mechanism during their weekly checks. However, the exact cause of the collapse was not provided.
Director Jean-Victor Clerico stated that there was no evidence of foul play and suggested that a technical failure may have been the cause of the damage. The Moulin Rouge, founded in 1889, holds a significant place in Paris nightlife history and is known as the birthplace of the can-can dance. The venue is located at the foot of Montmartre hill in
