Moulin Rouge is a traditional cabaret which was founded by Joseph Oller and Charles Zidler in 1889. It is situated along the foot of Montmartre (París, France). Famous for its big imitation of the red wheel on the roof of its building it is and has been for 120 years the emblematic symbol of the Parisian night, being a main sightseeing attraction for many tourists.

The Moulin Rouge, world-wide famous thanks to its French Can-can, and immortalized by the painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, has always presented sumptuous shows to its spectators. Today, the show of the Moulin Rouge, "Féerie", continues the tradition.

An €8 million budget went into creating this revue, which includes more than 1000 costumes, 800 pairs of custom made shoes, dozens of handmade settings, a giant aquarium, five pythons, six dwarf horses, and much more.
