Does my 2-year-old need a ticket?

Kids under 2 go free on your lap, but they still need a free ticket from the box office up to 30 minutes before the show, and you need their ID.

Can we step out and come back in?

No. Once you're inside, leaving is final, so plan bathroom trips for the intermission.

How early do the doors open?

45 minutes before the show starts.

Can we drive and park there?

Private cars can't use the Pelouse de Reuilly esplanade, only drop-off. The nearest covered garages are Valmy-Liberté (139-145 rue de Paris, Charenton) and Garage Poniatowski, each about 8 to 9 minutes on foot.

About

Odyssée is the new show from Cirque Phénix, performed by 40 acrobats from Les Étoiles du Cirque de Pékin. Expect plate spinning, hoop diving, foot juggling and balancing acts, with bold costumes, big sets and loud, modern music. There are no animals, no ringmaster and no classic clowns, so it suits kids who want nonstop skill. It is long and loud for preschoolers.
