NSTlifestyle: Opened in 1889 – the same year as the EiffelTower was completed – the MoulinRouge has become a must-see for millions of tourists to the French capital, even if only from the outside.

Police blocked off the boulevard for the event, which began with music and a light show projected onto the iconic red windmill, recounting the venue’s Belle Epoque origins.

Then, as fireworks boomed overhead – red, naturally, later mixed with whites and blues – around 50 long-legged dancers wearing the same colours emerged to perform their famous can-can.Yiftah Bar-Akiva, an Israeli who has lived in Paris for 11 years, was sipping champagne from a flute glass with friends who came for the party.“I don’t think it’s disrespectful of women, I think it’s still art,” he added.
