Les Folies Gruss, specialists in equestrian shows, present their new show for a special occasion: their 50th anniversary! Their new creation is a mix of equestrian shows and acrobatics, in a three-part organization with a pre-show with catering, the show and an after-show.
The equestrian show, written four hands by Stefan Gruss and author and composer Grégory Garell, tells the story of Louise, a young singer full of life, for whom joining the Folies Gruss troupe is the fulfillment of a childhood dream. When the opportunity arises to be cast as the voice of the new show, she knows she can't let it slip away.

The Folies Gruss may be 50 years old, but they're also 50 years old! A key number to celebrate. In an equestrian show conceived as a musical comedy, 25 artists, 50 horses, the Folies Gruss Orchestra and their two performers , Candice Parise and Xavier Ducrocq, take you on an untold story. Not just a show, the festivities begin with a pre-show where you can enjoy a meal while admiring the artistic performances, followed by the show and an after-show where you can chat with the artists.
The Alexis Gruss company is a family affair. Between 1971 and 1974, the Gruss family gave birth to Cirque National Gruss , which years later became Les Folies Gruss in 2019. The origins of the Guss family circus date back to the 19th century, when creators Charles Gruss and Maria Martinetti met in 1868. A true family dynasty, the Compagnie Alexis Gruss still works today as a family, with the utmost respect for their horses.
