"We are thrilled by the warm reception we have received from New York City. Touring New York's historic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and Times Square has been quite a positive experience."
 

Best of France is organized by the New York French Community in partnership with many prominent organizations. This is the third edition of BEST OF FRANCE (http://www.bestoffrance.org/), formerly known as Taste of France. The celebration is expected to have thousands of visitors over the course of the weekend, and attendees will enjoy free entrance to walk the festival grounds and see abridged Moulin Rouge performances and fashion shows.

The French review is bringing "a Taste of Moulin Rouge" to New York City for the first time in 126 years, highlighting all of the glamour and elation that is a part of the French staple's rich history. Their New York City arrival marks the 130th anniversary of France's gift of the Statue of Liberty to the U.S. During their short time in NYC, the Moulin Rouge dancers have made appearances at New York City's most well-known landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Central Park and Times Square. Their eventful voyage has been documented on morning shows such as: Good Day New York, New York Live, and WPIX. Over the years, the Moulin Rouge has become the most famous cabaret in the world, internationally known for its French Cancan, immortalized by Toulouse-Lautrec in 1891 with his first advertising poster, as well as for its sumptuous grand stage shows: elaborate costumes boasting feathers, Swarovski crystals and sequins, fantastical settings, and original music, which festival attendees will be able to see at Best of France.
