The windmill blades on the roof of the Moulin Rouge in Paris are turning again

The Moulin Rouge is one of the most recognizable symbols of Paris. For over a year, the world's most famous windmill stood motionless, causing sadness among residents and tourists alike. Fortunately, everything is returning to normal this summer.

It all began in April 2024, when a serious malfunction occurred in the mechanism that rotates the blades on the roof of the Moulin Rouge. At that time, the red windmill, which had been lighting up the Montmartre district for over a century and attracting the attention of thousands of visitors, stopped and repairs lasted for many months.

Good news came this month – on July 10, 2025, the windmill blades began to turn again. This is a special moment not only for Parisians, but also for tourists from all over the world, who can once again admire this romantic icon of Parisian cabaret in all its glory.
