Moulin Rouge: A Grand Past, A Shaky Present
The Moulin Rouge is best known as the spiritual birthplace of the modern form of the can-can dance. The cabaret was built in 1889 in Jardin de Paris, at the foot of Montmartre hill, by Joseph Oller, the man who invented a new way of betting on the race tracks, which was later legalized by French authorities. The Eiffel Tower was also constructed in 1889, and the Exposition Universelles took place in the same year too. So the taste of industrial progress and a rich cultural exuberance was in the air.
