2018: The Bouglione project to go on tour again two years ago appears to be no longer financially sustainable and is therefore loss-making. Bouglione has already stopped in March and will henceforth be confined to Cirque d'Hiver in Paris, in a permanent circus building.

The Bouglione family owns a 180 m 2private museum in the Cirque d'Hiver. The exhibits were collected by : Emilien Bouglione then by his son, Louis-Sampion Bouglione, and mostly date from the Second Empire: costumes, photographs, posters, documents
