' Some people asked us if we were going to open this evening, but still, we shouldn't exaggerate, it has no impact on activity! » Fanny Rabasse, press officer at the Moulin Rouge, has been inundated with phone calls since the wings of the legendary Parisian cabaret collapsed .
An especially symbolic event since there were no injuries and there will therefore be no impact on the activity.
But that still opens two or three questions.
What happened ?
“The wings of the Moulin Rouge came down around 1:45 a.m.,
the time at which the Moulin Rouge had closed its doors,” explains the management of the establishment in a press release.
“No injuries” were reported, “the spectators of the second show had all already left,” we learned.
The letters M, O and U of the name of the cabaret, located on the facade, have also fallen.
One thing is certain, according to management, this has nothing to do with a “malicious act.” “It’s obviously a technical problem,” Jean-Victor Clerico, general manager of the legendary Parisian night spot, told the press.
Nothing to do with a lack of maintenance or overhaul either, since a specialized company came every two months to check the engine and the general condition of the wings.
The last maintenance visit dates back to March 20, management indicates.
