Little Circus at Little Villette, a free arts and sports weekend for budding acrobats.

Time passes, the world changes and evolves. And yet some things never change. From generation to generation, the cirque has always inspired dreams in young and old, with its big top, its acrobats, its clowns and its magicians... And if your little ones could also find themselves on the ring, under the glare of the spotlights?

Little Villette, La Villette’s kids space, is hosting a themed weekend dedicated to circus arts on November 7–8, 2026. Little explorers—from age 4—can try juggling or acrobatics through free workshops that nurture both creativity and physical prowess!
