When an opportunity to run away with the circus arose, at the age of forty-five, how could he resist. This is the charming story of an Englishman and his little dog leaving their normal lives behind for a month and joining an extraordinary French circus show. The story follows the exploits of David and Binky as they tour Normandy living the life of a circus performer in a show called "Le Repas". This unique show not only featured circus and musical entertainment, but also included the preparation and consumption of a three course meal. David Carr has had an extraordinary career. He worked for the BBC and other broadcasters writing radio shows and documentaries for eighteen years, managed a highly successful recording artist and launched his own record label. He has travelled the world but his true love has always been France. In this unique account of his time living with a French circus he captures a rare insight into a world very few of us will ever experience, giving us a completely new view of France and its inhabitants.
