Fans of Moulin Rouge are now able to book a night’s stay in the iconic venue - which has never been open for public access - for as little as €1, according to Airbnb.
The venue has unveiled a secluded room inside the iconic red windmill that will transport guests back in time to the late 19th century. Few are aware of the space inside the windmill.
The windmill interior has been transformed into a Belle Époque inspired boudoir, reminiscent of the cabaret era.
