No, built for a circus

- built for a circus
- not a classic coachbuilder at all
- not a manufacturer of commercial trailers
- not specialized in camping

Am I right ?

No, you misunderstood the caravan part. It is mainly a maker of camping trailers, i.e. caravans.

I don't have an exact year, but I think it was made in the 1950s.

As far as I found out, by then the make was bought by another caravan producer.

The directory of French caravan builders is quite extensive. Was it established after the 2nd WW?

Just four and a half year gone and we already have the solution!
Yes, the trailer was built by Paris-Beaune for the AMAR circus. It was supposed to be the largest camping trailer in Europe.
Very well done!

I didn't see the hint in Reply #62 until today. I recognized it as a Europa by Mabille and went looking for a Mabille circus trailer. This eventually brought me around to finding the Paris-Beaune brochure, but I'm still not sure if the Europa is produced by Mabille under license from Paris-Beaune, or the other way around, or licensed by another entity, or something else entirely.

Anyway, thanks!
