Centre national des arts du cirque Châlons-en-Champagne
Centre national des arts du cirque Châlons-en-Champagne, Circus arts education center in Châlons-en-Champagne, France.
The Centre National des Arts du Cirque is a circular building with an ornately decorated facade that contains training spaces and performance areas for circus arts. The facility spans multiple locations, including an additional training site at La Marnaise to accommodate expanded instruction needs.
The building was constructed in 1899 by architect Louis Gillet as a municipal circus venue and is now registered as a protected heritage monument. It was converted into a specialized training institution in 1986 by Jack Lang.
The name reflects the city's deep roots in circus performance and training traditions. Visitors can observe performers developing their craft daily through practice and rehearsal.
The main building is located on Rue du Cirque, while the expanded training facility at La Marnaise sits about half a kilometer away. The center includes specialized libraries and training spaces that can be viewed during scheduled training periods.
Students can earn a dual degree combining circus arts with sports sciences through a partnership with the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne. This program allows learners to develop both artistic and scientific skills at the same time.
