Moulin Rouge

Fodor's Review:

When the world-famous cabaret opened in 1889, aristocrats, professionals, and the working classes all flocked to see the scandalous performers. The cancan was considerably raunchier in Toulouse-Lautrec's day—girls used to kick off their knickers—then it is today. There's not much to see from the outside, but a decent gift shop around the corner (11 rue Lepic) sells official merchandise, from jewelry to sculpture, by reputable French makers.
