Translated by Kate Norman — 6 years ago. Original text by Adriana Leano. When we arrived, we had to ask a few people to help us find our way around so luckily, this it did not take as long to get there compared to what we thought it would.
Before arriving at the Moulin Rouge, we walked through an avenue that had a bit of innuendo about it: it had lots of sex shops with their windows wide open. For this reason, my friend and I decided to look into all these shop windows until we dared to make the trip inside to see all the hilarious things there. Inside the shop we could see every type of video covers, as well as costumes for women such as a rabbit, student, doctor, policewoman and others At the end of this street basically leads directly to the Moulin Rouge -.
As we were there during the morning shift, there were not many people looking at the things we found there, instead there was a large group of people on the pavement between us and the road that the Moulin Rouge was on, most people were taking photos. The Moulin Rouge, that is to say "the red windmill" in Castilian, can be found with red flowerpots in the entrance, it has an area to buy tickets on the right hand side, as well as its main door on the left.
There is a film that maybe many of you have seen, but in my case I had never seen it before, I only saw the images found on the ticket office window that show the popular performances at the moment. This place is famous for being one of the busiest cabaret locations inside Paris, it was built in and was designed by a Spaniard called Josep Oller.
The Moulin Rouge is one of those places where all the huge artists of Paris have gone to be able to give their presentations inside small, intimate rooms that allow them to have better contact with the public. It was because of this that this area was also known for all of the famous writers who had visited, like Oscar Wilde. During its lifetime it has also been visited by people like Frank Sinatra, Liza Minelli and Ives Montand , among others as well.
