France: Jean Palacy, Paris

School: Jean Palacy Location: Ecole International de Trapeze Volant Anciens Ets Avril Batiment 13, Route de Condé 77100 Mareuil-lès-Meaux France Tel: +33 1 60 01 27 16 Website Link: Jean Palacy's Website Other Info: Jean Palacy has had an illustrious career as a trapeze artist, including being a stunt double in the films 'Greatest Show on Earth' and 'Trapeze'. His school, located near to Disneyland Paris, offers both recreational classes and professional workshops. The school is one of the more unusual you will visit, filled with memorabilia of M Palacy's career and has the feel of a living room rather than a trapeze school. There are two rigs; a Mini Volant with cradle catcher and a 'medium' sized rig (you fly above mats rather than a net, and the trapeze cables are shorter). Tuition is of a high level, although probably more suited to experts who wish to improve their technique rather than complete beginners. .Photos:
