Biography
French cabaret venue, co-founded in 1889 by Charles Zidler and Joseph Oller, who also owned the Paris Olympia. Close to Montmartre in the Paris district of Pigalle on Boulevard de Clichy in the 18th arrondissement, it is marked by the red windmill on its roof. The closest métro station is Blanche.
Moulin Rouge (French for "Red Mill") is best known as the spiritual birthplace of the modern form of the can-can dance. Originally introduced as a seductive dance by the courtesans who operated from the site, the can-can dance revue evolved into a form of entertainment of its own and led to the introduction of cabarets across Europe. Today, the Moulin Rouge is a tourist attraction, offering musical dance entertainment for visitors from around the world. The club's decor still contains much of the romance of fin de siècle France.

Source Notes
Sy Scholfield quotes time from the blurb for the book Moulin Rouge ! 120 ans en images du cabaret le plus célèbre du monde by Jean-Luc Planche (Paris:Albin Michel, 2009) on Amazon.fr: "La légende l'affirme : le Music-Hall est né au Moulin Rouge le 6 octobre 1889 à a 8 heures du soir» place Blanche, au pied de la butte Montmartre... Legend has it that music-hall was born at the Moulin Rouge, the 6th october 1889, around 8 pm, up against the Montmartre hill, place Blanche" [1].
However, Scholfield notes that the opening date is given as 5 October in various newpapers, e.g., "Le Siècle/ Le Matin" 5 October 1889, p. 2: "Ce soir samedi: Ouverture du Moulin-Rouge" (Tonight, Saturday, opening of the Moulin-Rouge).
