Charlie Chaplin

Everybody loves Charlie who seems to walk straight out of a black and white silent movie. There he is, entertaining people waiting in a line-up. Kids and adults will recognize or discover this extraordinary clown, maybe the greatest, that was Charlie.

Mr. Soup

There goes Mr. Soup, a thin-skinned life-loving chef from the south of France, who makes everybody laugh at the food court. This character is inspired by Andre Clerin’s mother born and raised in Marseilles along the French Riviera. Mr. Soup’s French accent and very funny expressions come naturally to Andre.

Casimir the Wooden Soldier

Casimir is a proud soldier who is on charge of security on the site. Unfortunately, he is a little confused and cowardly to the amusement of everyone. Casimir’s 17th century style costume will also add a nice visual touch on the fairgrounds.
