When you enter the Moulin Rouge, you do not at first enter into a room. You walk through the doors, and enter a courtyard. In here is the location to the entrance to the ballroom, an entrance to a hallway that is for staff only, and the Elephant. The Elephant stands in the middle of the courtyard. Many people like to go out into the courtyard after dancing to cool off and breath away from the humidity of the dancefloor.
