1899. Paris, a city of contradictions. Gas lamps fought the night haze over cobbled streets where carriages rattled past shadows. Cafés spilled golden light as poets debated until dawn. Montmartre hummed with restless music. The Moulin Rouge stood at the heart, a temple of excess beneath its spinning red windmill. Inside, velvet curtains framed can-can dancers twirling in lace, sequins catching light like shattered stars. Thunderous music, louder laughter, the scent of perfume and wine. A place where the poor felt rich, and dreamers believed feelings could conquer everything.
