France 2020 – ENC Châtellerault

After a stellar adventure last year, we are thrilled to announce our second annual international circus program. We again have the rare opportunity to travel abroad to experience what we love most through an international lens! This summer we’ll return to the École Nationale de Cirque de Châtellerault for a week of intensive training with up to fourteen (14) highly motivated students.

After our week of training in Châtellerault, we’ll head north to Paris to see the Palace of Versailles, take in some masterworks at the Louvre, and explore the City of Lights before heading back to the airport.

Summer 2019 was brutally hot as a canicule settled over France. Our travelers were exceptionally mellow given the uncomfortable circumstances. The ice cream didn’t hurt!
