An international reputation, a legendary history and an unequaled quality of entertainment have made the Moulin Rouge the most famous cabaret in the world. For more than 133 years, the wings of the Moulin have been turning at the foot of the Montmartre hill, never ceasing to make us dream...
We met Jean-luc Pehau-Sorenson who has been directing the communication of this iconic place for more than 24 years. Living in Montmartre and knowing Paris perfectly, he shares his favorite addresses with us…
