Even if you have never been to Paris, I am sure you still have some imagination about this city.
Paris is a city of love, the Eiffel tower, good table wine, and the home of the can-can.
Paris.
When you go to Paris, you have the opportunity not only to see today's Paris, but you can also go to a place where you will plunge into the past, into the days when chorus lines were dancing the can-can, to the times of the French cabarets.
The most well-known of these places is Moulin Rouge.
Moulin Rouge, with its familiar red windmill, was established in 1889, a place that was made to be seen from every corner of Paris.
Moulin Rouge is one of the brightest places compared to many bars, cabarets and restaurants that are on the street.
The giant red windmill takes your attention straight away once you see it.
The red windmill invites you to enter a fun and joyful place in Paris.
People are often waiting in the queue for an hour to get into Moulin Rouge to see the show.
We waited in the queue for a long time, but the excitement and expectation makes the time go by quickly.
You won't mind waiting in the queue because you spend your time looking around and enjoying the feeling of Paris.
The first person you meet once you get into the Moulin Rouge is a security guard who will carefully check you.
Once I got inside I noticed that everything was in charming red colors.
I saw a picture on the wall...
How incredible are her blue eyes...
He wanted her to be with him, wanted to see her everyday.
It was his idea to make this place well known in Paris, that would be seen from every corner in Paris, a place where absinth, the can-can and joy are the main guests.
A place where he met her, his real love...
How incredible are her blue eyes...
I was still looking at the picture and thinking of a story of Moulin Rouge.
A story where a painter fell in love with one of the dancers; she never loved him, because he was disabled and only understood how much she needed him when he passed away.
Looking at that picture reminded me of that story, a story that happened a long time ago, but I had a feeling that I was a part of it, that I could see them here.
Pictures with her image were everywhere in the hall.
Many years had passed since the beginning of the Moulin Rouge, but you still meet characters that were living there before, and it feels like they are around you.
These paintings take you to the place where you will never be, to the past.
Can-can Please, Madame et Monsieur, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Moulin Rouge! I walked though the door to the huge room.
At first it does not seem like such a huge place.
Waiters are wearing tuxedos, smiling and inviting you to your table.
Tables are divided into three sections, each section is a bit higher than the next.
It is very comfortable, because the view is amazing from any corner you are sitting at.
A waiter, a young man with perfect knowledge of English took us to our table.
Every table had a red tablecloth on it with a small red lamp that was lighted.
The whole place was very friendly, happy and welcoming, full of lights and colors.
People were laughing, joking and cheerfully waiting for the show to begin.
Men in suits, girls wearing dinner dresses, everything was very formal, but happiness and joy made the place look and feel very comfortable.
Interior The waiter brought for us a bottle of champagne, which is an important element of Moulin Rouge, and so is included in the program of the show.
The music started to play.
All our attention was focused on the stage.
The show began.
Amazing colors, music, dancers.
It was a tremendous show, a real show.
From the beginning of the show until the end it was full of emotions, bright colors and amazing performances.
All our attention is focused on the bright stage, and only small red lamps on the tables glowed in the audience.
Waiters have a small flashlight in their mouth that helps them take the orders and bring food and drinks to the tables.
Bright costumes that dancers wear, with feathers on their heads, make the show even more exotic and interesting, everything sparkles on the stage.
Acrobats, clowns, animals mix into a tour de force and nonstop show - the dancers change costumes very fast and give to the audience great performances.
Suddenly, the floor starts to move up and a huge vessel with water comes from the ground.
In there a woman is swimming with snakes.
That was one of the horrifying acts, which impressed the spectators.
We could not wait for the can-can to begin.
Girls, wearing fluffy skirts came with the beats of music and danced their main dance, the can-can.
A storm of prolonged applause exploded in the hall.
They stand in a row with their synchronized dance-legs flying into the air; we will remember this show forever and, hopefully, will have a chance to come back here again to experience great emotions from these exotic, narcotic dances again.
One show that can not be missed.
One show that has to be seen.
The show that will stay in your memory forever.
Welcome to the Moulin Rouge.
