You can stay in the Moulin Rouge windmill with costumes, French dinner and show

Anyone who’s ever seen the Moulin Rouge will know of its iconic windmill that sits and sparkles above the cabaret.

Since the Moulin Rouge’s construction back in 1889 the windmill has been closed to the public.

But, the unique experience will now be made available for the first time as tourists can book the exceptional stay.

The Airbnb will will cost just one euro a night (that’s about 84p) however only three winners will be chosen.

The one night stay in the windmill will include a private tour of the theatre and the best seats in the house for the show – Féerie.

You’ll also be able to take photos on the stage and meet the lead dancer Claudine Van Den Bergh in her dressing room.

The winners will be gobsmacked by the iconic bedroom which is based on the Moulin Rouge in the 1890s.

There are luscious fabrics, plenty of pillows and a four poster bed alongside luxurious costumes, perfume and accessories.

Lovers of the show – or the Baz Luhrmann film – will be blown away by the spirit of the Moulin Rouge represented in the art nouveau pieces.

And, there’s even a private rooftop terrace where guests can watch the sunset alongside garden furniture and an ornate pagoda.

And, guests will be served a three course Belle Epoque dinner on the terrace alongside an aperitif served up by chef Arnaud Demerville.

A Parisian style breakfast will also be supplied in the morning.

Lead dancer Claudine said: "Attending a show at the Moulin Rouge offers an escape from the everyday and an incredible immersion into the glamour and grandeur of French Music Hall.

"The Belle Époque-inspired interior of our much-loved windmill will transport guests to the era from which this timeless cabaret emerged."

Guests can ask to book one of the three individual one-night stays on June 17, June 20 and June 27 from Tuesday 17 May at 6pm on Airbnb.

But, try not to be too disappointed if you’re not selected.

The Moulin Rouge shows two performances each night with over 60 cast members with an array of glamorous costumes.

Those of us who don’t bag the windmill can still pay to watch the show or to enjoy dinner with the 7pm show.

A Belle Epoque menu is made available to all diners and there’s also vegan and children's menus as well as a Toulouse Lautrec themed evening.
