Cancan dancers of the Moulin Rouge dazzle spectators in Paris on July 5, 2024 (local time) as the newly installed sails were lit up above the famous windmill. The sails of the red windmill atop the Moulin Rouge, the most celebrated cabaret club in Paris, fell to the ground overnight in late April. The newly-built sails were installed last June 24, in time for the passage of the Olympic torch in front of the landmark on July 15. The Moulin Rouge, founded in 1889, became a global symbol of end-of-the-century Parisian culture, its famed can-can dancers widely depicted in paintings by avant-garde artists of the era such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Georges Seurat. Nowadays the audience is largely made up of tourist groups.
