Cirque d'hiver

 The 'Winter Circus' in Paris's 11eme arrondissement is a large 20 sided oval building designed as a theatre in the round for the performance of circus, dressage, wrestling and concerts. It opened in 1852 and was a favourite hang-out of Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. For more information about its history and pictures of the interior, see Paris Connected.

C'est un superbe cirque! On se trouve près de la piste et le décor à l'ancienne est aussi beau que l'extérieur!

Lucie: Have you been inside? I've only seen it from the street.
