We bid a big top farewell to Emilien Bouglione, horseman and showman, who died on 14 March 2026 at the age of 92.
He and his family ran France's most celebrated circus building, the Cirque d’Hiver-Bouglione, where Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis and Gina Lollobrigida shot the 1957 film Trapeze. The young Bouglione had a part in the film.
In 1974 Bouglione played a major part in helping Prince Rainier launch the International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo. At the same event, he won a Silver Clown.
