Tips & Advice

  • Leave the stroller in the welcome tent when you arrive, because strollers are not allowed into the Grand Chapiteau during family shows.
  • If anyone in your group needs an adapted seat, contact the team a week before your visit so they can reserve one.
  • Pick up your exit ticket for the TCL park-and-ride under the big tops before the show, so you can drive straight out afterwards.
  • Take Metro A or trams T3 and T7 to the Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie stop, close to the big tops.
  • Book online to get e-tickets; same-day tickets at the box office are only available while seats remain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the show for?

It's an intergenerational circus show built around the magic of Christmas. Families with children under 5 will find the family shows a better fit than the longer dinner shows.

How long should we allow?

The show lasts two hours, with an interval.

Are there animals in the show?

No. There are no animals in any of the shows, and pets aren't allowed on site either.

Can we bring a stroller?

Strollers aren't allowed in the Grand Chapiteau during family shows because the layout can't fit them. You'll be asked to leave yours in the welcome tent.

Is the tent heated?

Yes, the big tops are heated.
