The iconic windmill of the Moulin Rouge has toppled from its roof and was left strewn across a central Paris road on Thursday morning.
Letters have also fallen from the 19th century Parisian cabaret’s facade, leaving it now reading ‘Lin Rouge’.
A gated cordon has been put in place around the club and the remains of the windmill have been removed and put into a lorry.
The club is a well known destination for tourists heading to the French capital, with its large red windmill, which is illuminated at night, making up a key part of Paris’ skyline.
It’s name, Moulin Rouge, translates to Red Mill.
ITV News has contacted the Parisian fire service for more details.
