From Eiffel Tower to Moulin Rouge, Paris landmarks close in virus clampdown

Moulin Rouge cabaret, Louvre museum and Eiffel Tower are among top tourist spots that are now closed as France tries to curb the spread of coronavirus

The Moulin Rouge cabaret is pictured, after the CEO Jean-Jacques Clerico CEO informed that the Cabaret will be closed as from today due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease in Paris, France, March 13, 2020.

The Louvre museum, home to Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo sculpture and one of France's biggest tourist attractions, said it would close its doors from 1800 until further notice. But some venues were still unsure on Friday afternoon whether or not they would be taking in spectators, including one cinema in central Paris which said it was keeping its doors open for now as it expected fewer than 100 people.

In the meantime, however, the venue in Paris's Pigalle neighbourhood, surmounted by a giant red wind mill which has become an attraction in itself, will remain lit up, the spokeswoman added.
