Paris, France: Moulin Rouge

You've probably heard of the Moulin Rouge if you've been paying attention. It's one of the most famous cabaret theaters in the world, having been around since 1889. And it translates to red windmill, as you could guess by the photo.

The place is best known as the spot where the can-can dance was invented. That gave the Moulin Rouge some fame, and it led to the development of cabaret as a form for musical entertainment.

Seeing this in person might make me revisit the movie of the same name. It came out in 2001 and starred Ewen McGregor and Nicole Kidman.  The building is located in the Montmartre section of Paris.

Care to go inside and look around? Since I never made it in that morning, I do.
