The Moulin Rouge, Paris, France


The Moulin Rouge
Originally uploaded by Martin Callum.
Our first day in Paris was quite lazy. We took a trip into central Paris with Rachel and walked the streets. We made a stop at Musee de Luxembourg, for the Matisse Exposition that was being held.
After being stuck in a major, major rainstorm, we hopped on a bus just to get out of the rain. The bus went past the Louvre, Opera House, Gare Saint Lazarre and up to Montmartre. We took a look at the outside of the Moulin Rouge, a bizarre building with a windmill on it. I guess this used to be some sort of cabaret club, and was where the can-can dance originated........and of course recently made more famous by the movie of the same name! Stub
