France: Nil Obstrat, Paris

School: Nil Obstrat Location: 53, rue d'Epluches 95310 Saint Ouen l'Aumône France Tel: +33 1 34 64 64 82 Website Link: Nil Admirari Website Other Info: This centre is primarily a training centre for professional artists and as such does not hold regular classes for beginners. Although hard to find, situated in an industrial area of an obscure suburb of Paris, the centre has both and indoor and outdoor rig. The outdoor rig is the old structure from 'Les Arts Sauts' and is very exciting to try. It is built in a large trapezium shape and has a swinging cradle catcher as well as fixed and korean cradle points. The indoor facilities are always changing, but often include a petit volant rig, trampolines and attachment points for other equipment like silks. Opening times and training opportunities are confusing, and you are best to arrive with a group of friends (although no beginners!). Either the contact the centre, or better still, arrange a visit through one of the other schools in Paris (for example Nanterre) who have good links with the centre. Photos:
