Photo Story: The Moulin Rouge celebrates the 130th anniversary
Moulin Rouge dancers perform in front of the cabaret to mark its 130th anniversary in Paris, France.
Moulin Rouge is best known as the birthplace of the modern form of the can-can dance.
The original house, which burned down in 1915, was 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.
