Moulin Rouge


We were bursting with anticipation awaiting our evening at this world-renowned cabaret. Established in 1889 and seating up to 850 guest, this venue boasts an extravagant show that awakens all your senses. From the moment you enter the building with its red velvet walls and lavish furnishings, you are enthralled by the decadence of the place. After enjoying the spoils of French gastronomique, the show begins with an abundance of glitz and glamour, feathers and sequins. At one stage during the show a water tank arises and one of the show girls gracefully dives into the tank, performing a water routine with enormous pythons. Of course the legendary Le French Cancan due Moulin Rouge was one of the highlights of the evening with all the frills, flamboyance, screams and boisterous rhythm.

To my surprise, out of hundreds of guests, my husband is pulled out of the audience to perform on stage with three other guests. How remarkable. Not everyday one can boast of having performed on stage at  the Moulin Rouge. Overall, this was a brilliant night that I am sure we will remember for the rest of our lives.
