===Mistinguett years===
[[File:Mistinguett Moulin Rouge.jpg|thumb|[[Mistinguett]], at the Moulin Rouge (1907–1929)]]Following World War I, [[Francis Salabert]] assumed management of the Moulin Rouge. As a businessman rather than a showman, he entrusted Jacques-Charles, a prominent impresario, with revitalizing the cabaret. The Moulin Rouge experienced a resurgence with the performances of stars such as Mistinguett, [[Jeanne Aubert]], and [[Maurice Chevalier]], as well as the introduction of American revues featuring the Hoffmann Girls.

In 1923, composer and conductor Raphaël Beretta proposed a reconstruction of the Moulin Rouge's music hall on a larger scale. The iconic mill structure, supported by a central facade adorned with oval dormers, was designed by Gesmar, a 20-year-old set designer whose work became synonymous with the venue.

Jacques-Charles and Mistinguett collaborated on several acclaimed revues, including:

1925: ''Revue Mistinguett''

1926: ''Ça c'est Paris''

1928: ''Paris qui tourne''

During a 1927 performance, an incident occurred when female dancers emerged from multi-tiered artificial cakes covered in real frosting. The slippery cake cream on their high heels caused them to repeatedly slip and fall on stage, resulting in disruptions to the show.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The big periods of the Moulin Rouge – PARISCityVISION|url=https://www.pariscityvision.com/en/paris-by-night/moulin-rouge/big-times-big-names-moulin-rouge|access-date=2024-05-24|website=pariscityvision.com}}</ref>

Mistinguett's tenure at the Moulin Rouge produced enduring songs such as "Valencia," "Ça c'est Paris" (both by [[José Padilla (composer)|Jose Padilla]]), "Il m'a vue nue," "On m' suit," and "La Java de Doudoune," the latter performed with [[Jean Gabin]].
