To make us relive the authentic Belle Époque atmosphere, Airbnb collaborated with the famous historian Jean-Claude Yon, an expert in French history of the nineteenth century: together they created a room that reproduces in an authentic way what could have been the interior of the mill in those years. “The Belle Époque was a period of extreme flowering of French arts and culture, and nothing can remember those years better than the Moulin Rouge. The secret room inside the theater mill was conceived as a journey back in time, to give guests the opportunity to relive the French capital during that historic moment, ”said Jean-Claude Yon. Examples? A sumptuous bed, but also a miniature stage with vintage clothes and accessories to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the theater. Here are the pictures:
