Cirque Piedon, a traditional French circus with more than a century of history has set up its big top in Monaco, offering families a chance to experience the timeless magic of live performance.

The circus, which has been touring France since 1920, is presenting nightly shows at 6:30pm at Espace Fontvieille from 2nd to 13th August. The family-run circus promises an evening filled with acrobats, clowns, animals, and spectacular acts designed to captivate audiences of all ages.

The Piedon family has maintained their nomadic lifestyle for over 100 years, passing down their passion for circus arts from generations to generation. Today, every aspect of the operation remains a family affair, from the performance on stage to the behind-the-scenes organisation, always with the same desire to make people dream.

The Monaco residency marks a highlight of the circus’s summer tour, offering nearly two weeks of entertainment in the Principality.

However, Cirque Piedon maintains its traditional values in an increasingly digital world, with tickets available exclusively at the venue rather than online. For this reason, it is advised to arrive early to secure a good spot and fully enjoy the experience.
