His mission was to help and support the traditional circus and the circus families.<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, his daughter Princess St\u00e9phanie became the President of the largest circus festival in the world. And in 2012, together with her daughter Pauline Ducruet, she created a Festival for young performers called New Generation (which will this year celebrate its 13th edition).<\/p>\n<h2>Circus Tickets<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Tickets are free for children under 5, sitting on their parents&#8217; laps.<\/li>\n<li>There are also half-price tickets for 5-12 year old for certain categories and dates.<\/li>\n<li>Adult tickets vary from 30 to 110 euros.<\/li>\n<li>Purchase tickets here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.montecarlofestival.mc\/en\/#billetterie\">https:\/\/www.montecarlofestival.mc\/en\/#billetterie<\/a> or email reservation@montecarlofestival.mc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Festival International du Cirque de Monte-Carlo is a popular annual event in Fontvieille, Monaco.
