Paris’ famed Moulin Rouge cabaret got its iconic red windmill back on Friday after it collapsed earlier this year.<\/p>\n

A special ceremony that featured can-can dancing on the plaza outside marked the restoration of the windmill – an emblem of the surrounding Montmartre neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

The mill’s huge sails and part of the cabaret’s illuminated sign crashed to the ground<\/a><\/strong> after a show in April due to a technical problem, according to its director.<\/p>\n

The cabaret scrambled to repair the damage before the Olympic torch relay passes through the area on 15 July.<\/p>\n

The windmill was first illuminated on 6 October 1889 at the opening of the Moulin Rouge. The cabaret is best known as the birthplace of the modern form of the can-can dance.<\/p>\n
