I heard it on the radio. As I live next door, I wanted to come and see with my own eyes what it was like and it's very sad,
A little before 2 a.m., the wings of the windmill gave way, fell on the boulevard and fortunately at this time the boulevard was empty of passersby. We are relieved this morning, especially to know that there were no injuries."
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,
We are open this evening, to continue to bring the spirit of the Parisian party to life.”
I hope they will build it up again, so it will be as it always has been, the old Moulin Rouge,
We'll rise to the challenge,
It's sad, just sad,
It’s weird to me, (the Moulin Rouge), it’s Paris. It’s like the Eiffel Tower, it’s Paris. It’s weird, you can’t say it any other way.”
Every week, the cabaret’s technical teams check the windmill mechanism and did not note any problems,
Fortunately this happened after closing,
Paris without its windmill is like Paris without its Eiffel Tower,
We know it was not a malicious act
As a result of the weather conditions and possible dilapidation, the wings of the Moulin Rouge building fell onto the public highway".
We don't know what happened, it occurred between 02.00 and 03.00 am, no one was hurt,
It's the first time that an accident like this has happened since
It's really moving, because (the Moulin Rouge) is a real symbol around here... it's a source of life for the neighbourhood,
We're putting everything into getting the sails back onto our iconic windmill as quickly as possible,
I saw the sails on the ground. I said to myself there must be people dead or injured,
The Moulin Rouge stays open,
