The Real Moulin Rouge

History of the Paris nightclub the Moulin Rouge as it was in the 1890s. Topics included the artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the windmills of Montmartre such as the Moulin de la Galette, the dance known as the can can, and the famous Moulin Rouge performers.

About 45 years ago, for two and one half years, I danced at the Moulin Rouge Paris always wondering
about the history of the cabaret...... you have so eloquently, filled in the gaps.... I'm so glad I found you!
Thank You So Very Much....

Wow! I am so impressed. A dancer at the Moulin Rouge? What a great job. I took lots of dance classes myself, and appeared in college musicals, but had no real talent, although I still wear ballet shoes as slippers. I'm glad I found you, too. Always a pleasure to hear from someone who understands the complexities of what I'm discussing. Again...I am so impressed. Thanks for watching, and for writing to me.

Hello. Ex Professional Dancer at the Moulin Rouge here. ( Dec 86 to Jan 88 ), the last year of Femmes, Femmes, Femmes. It's pronounced MoulAN Rouge, not MoulON.

At least this is historically accurate rather than how the movie depicts it.

[@susaneuler9462]

Yes, it is accurate. But I am an art historian, so that's my job. The movie tells a story. But the story told in the movie is accurate also. Lot of drama went on at the Moulin Rouge - still does. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

Very good presentation. A fun way to learn a few more tit-bits about the fantastic artist Henri Lautrec. When he died his friends rushed over to his home, searching the place for his legendary self-concocted cocktail drinks recipe book.Thanks Dr Euler . Rick&Morgan

My Sister loves Moulin Rouge ( Red Windmill). | B/c of the movies... we're Americans LOL 😆♡

[@susaneuler9462]

I used to show the movie to all my classes every year. I could be in the production myself as I know all the songs and dance steps by now. Anyway...I hope the windmill history I explain in my video helps you and your sister love the Moulin Rouge itself even more! Thanks for watching.
