Stay a night in the Moulin Rouge for only €1 with Airbnb – The National

The famed scarlet windmill at the Moulin Rouge cabaret venue in Paris will be available to book for overnight stays for the first time. The attraction's owners have partnered with Airbnb to give a handful of guests the opportunity to stay inside a recreated 19th century room that was once hidden from the public.

The secret room in the windmill has been converted into a boudoir with pastel pink curtains and adorned with flowers and the same lace fittings as the nightclub below. The venue can be booked for an overnight stay for the symbolic price of €1. The dates being offered are June 13, 20 and 27, and bookings can be made from May 17.

The stay also includes backstage access and a private tour of the Moulin Rouge, a traditional three-course French meal by resident chef Arnaud Demerville and seats to the theatre's long-running stage show Feerie. The venue, with its symbolic red windmill is in the Montmartre district of Paris and was built in 1889.
