Les Folies Gruss, a family of acrobats serving equestrian art. 50 years ago, Alexis Gruss set up his troupe in Paris, for a show which was only supposed to last a few weeks.

Since then, success has never wavered and their immense pointed tent in the Bois de Boulogne is always full. Since 2019, the Gruss have opened their morning rehearsals to spectators, and mix equestrians art with cabaret. “We have given ourselves the means to keep these family values, it is something dear, which we defend,” says Firmin Gruss.
