The first Juggling convention in Rennes, organised by local jugglers from the Jongle-et-Rit association, began in 1999 but the project was later abandoned in 2004. In 2007 the association decided to give it another go and thus the Bigoud’N Jongle convention was born!
With more than 400 jugglers the 2009 convention was a huge success! Check out our video archive to get a feel for the ambiance.
