“If you’ve seen the musical film “Moulin Rouge” by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, then you probably now has an idea where its title came from. The title did originate from the French language, but if it is really inspired by this particular red mill in the picture, no one can tell. It’s just fascinating to look at the mill lit up in all its glory at night. It isn’t the real thing used in the countryside of France. But the replica is good enough to remind you of Medieval France.”
