The four windmill blades at the famous Moulin Rouge, a 134-year-old Parisian cabaret club in Paris, fell off early Thursday morning. No one was injured.
People walk past the Moulin Rouge Thursday, April 25, 2024 in Paris. The windmill from the Moulin Rouge, the 19th century Parisian cabaret, has fallen off the roof overnight along with some of the letters in its name. …
The blades and part of the club’s electric sign fell to the ground at around 2 a.m. local time, after the audience for the last performance of the night had left, said the club’s general manager, Jean-Victor Clerico, according to Reuters. An unspecified technical problem caused the full set of blades to fall, and there is no foul play suspected, Mr. Clerico told French wire agency Agence France-Presse.Locals were shocked to see the damage.
“Paris without its mill is like Paris without its Eiffel Tower. It’s still very strange, there was no storm last night, I hope that we will quickly find out what happened and that cameras were able to capture the scene,” 50-year resident of the neighborhood and former Moulin Rouge head waiter Andre Duval told the Le Parisien newspaper, as translated by Google.
