Nouveau Cirque (Paris)

Nouveau Cirque (New Circus) was a circus located in Paris at 251 Rue Saint-Honoré. It was inaugurated on February 12, 1886 and closed on April 18, 1926 and was demolished. It was owned by Joseph Oller, co-founder of the famous Moulin Rouge.

It was an upscale establishment; patrons were required to wear formal attire. It was one of the few buildings in Paris at the time to be completely lit by electric lights.

The arena could be lowered by a hydraulic system to create a water basin for aquatic performances.
