The L'Envolée Cirque team invites you on a sensory, moving and contemplative tour of the Conciergerie.

From aerial acrobatics to Chinese mat and optical juggling, all these disciplines will take over the space with bodies in a state of fluidity, and through installations and visual and plastic devices. A musical thread will allow these performances to interact in a suspended ballet, defying the laws of gravity!

A lovely evening in the heart of Parisian history!
