The Moulin Rouge is a cabaret club, positioned on a bustling boulevard in the Montmartre corner of Paris. Originally founded in 1889, it was quickly established as the entertainment hub for a more diverse crowd, and it’s widely credited as the birthplace of the French cancan.

Nowadays though, it’s perhaps better known through its central role in the 2001 film Moulin Rouge! starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. A tale of energetic passion, dangerous liaisons and forbidden love, it tells the story of a young English writer who meets an alluring courtesan at this cabaret club and centre of Paris’ cultural underworld, the Moulin Rouge. Blending idealistic hope with tragic reality, the film perfectly encapsulates this part of Parisian culture at the turn of the century.

And for the first time, the Moulin Rouge is offering visitors their very own opportunity to be catapulted back in time and experience first-hand Paris in the late 19th century, thanks to this special deal with Airbnb. But don’t worry ­– this particular stay promises a considerably more enjoyable experience for couples than the film’s tragic love story.
