Royan: Claudio Zavatta perpetuates the family circus tradition

The circus will be setting up its big top at the Royan-Médis airfield from August 7 to 31, with daily performances by a troupe of 25 artists.

The name resonates in the ears of circus lovers as a guarantee of moments of magic, wonder, and laughter. In the Zavatta family, it's time for the ^6th generation. It's the Claudio Zavatta Circus, which is parking its 17 semi-trailers and erecting its big top at the Royan-Médis airfield until the end of August.

A troupe of 25 artists will perform at least one show a day from August 7 to 31. "Without wild animals," but with the horses of its cavalry, with the horses of the motorbikes' engines, which will make the audience tremble by spinning at high speed in the "ball of death," and also with its tightrope walkers, its acrobatic roller skating act and the unmissable clown Victor Rossi.

Shows at 7:30 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays (at 4 p.m. on Friday, August 15), at 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Wednesdays, and at 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets: from 15 euros to 25 euros depending on age and seating.
