The most famous cabaret in history, the Moulin Rouge has been the subject of many books, paintings, movies and musicals - birthplace of the Quadrille, the Cancan and home to a cast of outrageous dancers known as the Diamond Dogs.

When the Moulin opened, Paris was a city of exquisite contradiction; art was both elevated and abused, pomp and excess ran hand in hand with poverty and hardship, and the heady elixir of personal freedom bred lifestyles that were often reckless and addictive. Drawn to Paris by the city's passion, a flame fuelled by the hearts of lovers and the souls of poets, Matthew and Nathalie tempt the fates as they seek love and destiny in the infamous cabaret...The Moulin Rouge.
