Can my 2-year-old come?

Yes. Kids under 3 get in free but have no seat of their own, so they sit on an adult's lap for the whole show.

How early should we arrive?

The circus suggests 45 minutes ahead. The bar and the entrance hall open an hour before each show.

Is there a deal for bigger families?

On sessions marked Pack Famille, buying 4 seats together gets a lower price per seat.

The bar opens an hour before each show. The Friday 8:30pm session on Dec 11 is a dinner show with a catered meal and its own tickets.

About

Essentiel is the new show from Cirque Arlette Gruss, one of France's traditional family circuses, set up in a heated big top on the edge of the Bois de Vincennes. Expect balancing acts, aerial hoops, juggling, horses, motorbikes and the clown Bellini, all played to a live orchestra. It suits kids who can sit through a long show and like their circus classic rather than experimental.

Adults from €20, kids 3-12 from €17
