Moulin Rouge

 


 The red windmill was  Built-in 1889 by Joseph Oller and Charles Zidler in Jardin de  Paris doors opened in October 1889. The original building burned down in February 1915.


The moulin rouge was vary extravagant and over the top even had a 7 story elephant in the garden.  Joseph Oller bought the stucco elephant after seeing one at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1889. The elephant was used as a luxurious opium den where single men could be entertained by belly dancers. The elephant may have even had a small apartment on its back. I can’t find any info but at some point, there was also some sort of roller coaster called The Moulin Rouge Le Can Can Coaster. The moulin rouge is the birthplace of the modern  Can can dance.
