RIP Emilien Bouglione, France’s Prince of the Circus
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.

Circus of Dreams
Perfect name. Perfect picture. Who wouldn't be tempted into that tent for a show created by clown and 6th generation circus performer Tolly Mack and aerialist Sanna James? Who could look at that big top and not believe that they would find inside the most magical circus you could dream of?
