Cirque D'Hiver

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Since 1852 the Cirque d'hiver, at 110 rue Amelot, at the juncture of the rue des Filles Calvaires and rue Amelot, Paris 11ème, has been a prominent venue for circuses, exhibitions of dressage, musical concerts and other events, today also including fashion shows. The orchestral concerts of Jules Etienne Pasdeloup were held at the Cirque d'hiver, as well as exhibitions of Turkish wrestling. The nearest métro station is Filles du Calvaire. The circus is an oval polygon of 20 sides, with Corinthian columns at the angles, giving the impression of an oval building enclosing the oval ring, surrounded by steeply banked seating for spectators, very much like a miniature indoor Colosseum
