CNN —Paris’ iconic Moulin Rouge windmill has been fitted with new blades, nearly three months after they fell off the landmark. Jean-Victor Clerico, General Manager of Moulin Rouge Paris, said that the aim was to reinstall the blades before July 15, when the Olympic flame passes the venue on its way to the opening of the Summer Games. Located in Paris’ Montmartre district and established in 1889, the Moulin Rouge is one of the world’s most famous cabaret clubs. Over the years, the venue has endured fires and undergone renovations to maintain its grandeur, according to the Moulin Rouge website. The unveiling of the new Moulin Rouge windmill comes as another iconic Parisian venue closes.
