Spend Christmas Eve enjoying a festive meal, then head to the arena for an equestrian show: that’s the offering from Folies Gruss. The company brings families together for an evening combining dining, music and circus arts. Dinner and the show take place one after the other in two separate spaces, at the new Paris venue.
The meal takes place during the pre-show. Artistic and musical performances accompany this first part of the meal, before spectators take their seats around the track. The venue is covered and heated, so the event takes place under shelter, in a structure whose acoustics, lighting and staging have been redesigned for this season.
The show takes the form of an equestrian musical comedy featuring acrobats, with fifty horses, performers and a live orchestra. The evening is for adults and children alike, with a meal tailored to younger guests. After the performance, the artists come out to meet the audience. Christmas also retains its own Folies Gruss tradition: a candlelit vigil followed by Mass under the big top lets guests continue the evening in a different vein.
The adult menu features festive flavors: champagne and oysters to start, foie gras, then capon with morels and Port. Dessert is a rum baba served with whipped cream. For children, the menu pairs a homemade chicken cordon bleu with a chocolate tree-shaped dessert.
