The Unfortunate Collapse of Moulin Rouge Windmill Sails: An Update on the Restoration Process

Paris landmark, Moulin Rouge windmill, had its sails collapse overnight for the first time in 134 years. This unfortunate incident happened around 2 a.m. local time, just after the venue’s last show ended. Fortunately, no one was hurt and Paris firefighters have confirmed that there is no further risk of collapse.

The cause of the incident remains unknown, but according to a Moulin Rouge official, the club’s technical teams regularly check the windmill mechanism each week and had not noticed any issues prior to the collapse. The club’s director mentioned that there were no signs of foul play, suggesting that a technical failure may have been the reason for the collapse.

The fall of the windmill sails led to damage to the venue’s signage, knocking off the first three letters of “Moulin.” The windmill sails were seen being loaded into a truck for further inspection. Moulin Rouge, founded in 1889, is a symbol of Paris nightlife and is famous for being the birthplace of the can-can dance. The club is set to celebrate its 135th anniversary on Oct. 6.

The collapse of the windmill sails has caused widespread concern among locals and tourists who are eagerly waiting for updates on the restoration of this iconic landmark. Despite previous incidents such as a fire in 1915 that forced the club to close for nine years, this latest incident has brought even more attention to this Parisian landmark.
