The blades of the famous Moulin Rouge in Paris collapsed on Thursday morning, French media reported.

The landmark's red windmill, which was depicted in the film of the same name, was left without its most defining feature after the blades fell to the ground.

The collapse happened between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. (0400-0500 UTC/GMT), according to French TV channel BMF.
