In detail

Every summer, the Caravane du Plongeoir makes stops in parks and squares around the urban area. Around the caravan, a free-access circus introduction area lets you get familiar with different circus objects and skills, safely, under the eye of an instructor from Le Plongeoir, with creative activities as a bonus.

2027 dates: Wednesdays, July 7 and 21 at Parc de Tessé (10 AM–12 PM and 2–4 PM), Thursdays, July 8, 15, and 22 at Parc Léon Blum (5–7 PM, in partnership with the collective Hors les murs). All audiences, free, no reservation.

Previous edition: in 2026, the caravan traveled from June 6 to July 24 to the parks of l'Épine, Tessé, and Léon Blum and to Place des Sablons.

Organizer

Le Plongeoir, Pôle national Cirque Le Mans

Le Plongeoir is the national circus hub of Le Mans: hosting companies in residence, a season of shows, and circus teaching and practice for everyone.

Park

Parc de Tesse

2.3-hectare English-style garden behind the Tessé Museum (Museum of Fine Arts), next to the Jacobins-Quinconces. It stands out for its remarkable trees, flower beds and sculptures, including a giant hourglass by Jean-Bernard Métais installed in the center of the pond since June 2009.
