Tourism – golden cult

Situated at 110 Rue Amelot, 75011 Paris, this circus can easily be found. The moment after stepping out of the metro, the buildings interact and elaborate architecture calls well-deserved attention to itself. This circus’s interest doesn’t limit itself to the outside however. Here are some important things to note:

This circus holds a very old history. This circus,build in 1852, has been initially made famous by the Bouglione family who has owned the venue since 1934.they have since then offered people countless shows every year ranging from specific themed event to 2 casual entertaining shows a day. Many important french icon have since gone and watched one of such shows like edith piaf and charle aznavour.

Another of the circus important qualities is that unlike a lot of circuses it’s fully indoor and in an immovable structure strong enough to protect from the harshness of the elements. Hence the name “cirque d’hiver” translates to winter circus.

Finally, the prices of their show costs from as low as 10 euros. This makes it very accessible for a student, families or anyone on a specifically tight budget.

these qualities are what makes the “cirque d’hiver bouglione” a great activity for those cold winter nights .

P.S.: for more information on the history of the cirus, a museum is also available that exhibit interesting relics of the venues past.

Avoid holidays and rush hours:

The louvre museum, similar to every Touristic and artistic center in Paris, is a place highly visited and sought after. As a direct consequence of that, it tends to be crowded during the holidays. Especially the days that are followed by the end of the holiday in question or by a day of the museum closure. For this reason, it is recommended for a person seeking to visit the museum to plan. It is important to choose the dates in which the museum is less likely to be crowded to make the experience more enjoyable.

Research the art pieces beforehand.

The most known painting in the louvre is undoubtedly Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Because of this painting’s fame, the first-time visitor tends to ignore the other pieces placed in the louver on they’re way to the Mona Lisa. Although, it is not the only notable artwork found in the louver. In fact, many important paintings such as Delacroix’s liberty leading the people, ancient Egyptian artifacts, and many more pieces get overlooked or ignored simply by ignorance of their importance. Henceforth, doing some research on the pieces worth seeing in louver will not only expand the visitors’ knowledge but also win the time lost typically in confusion to what to see next during a visit.

Take advantage of the map and audio guide.

When going to a museum, some visitors tend to overlook maps and audio guides as unnecessary. This assumption can be very harmful to a person’s experience in a museum, especially the louver. In a museum as imposing as this one, someone without the specialized knowledge might get lost and confused and end his visit without learning anything. With the help of the map and previous research, a visitor will know where to look and what to see. Once the art piece is reached, the visitor will be truly able to expand their knowledge and appreciation of the piece with the information provided by the audio guide, making their visit more fruitful.

If planning to see an exhibition, check the museum sites for information.

For certain exhibits in the louvre, it is necessary to reserve a place and buy a ticket separately from the initial ticket that gives access to the louvre museum. These reservations can be done on the official louvre museum site. It is very important to check the available dates and align the available one with the date of your visit. Some visitors visit the museum with the promise of seeing an exhibition only to leave disappointed that they couldn’t enter with no reservation. This tip is currently even more important to note considering the current Le Corps et l’Âme exhibition and the museum itself can only be accessed if a time slot is booked as a consequence of the spread of the coronavirus.
