Live

Join Guignol, Gnafron and all their friends as they perform for you - without playback - in the Théâtre de Guignol, a beautiful, classic, covered and heated theatre located between the Paddling Pool and the Grandes Écuries. And so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes, with these little puppets who are like no others, providing you with plenty of laughs for all the family. But hush! The show's about to start...

"Punch! Guignol!" shout the children, impatient to find their favourite puppet, get him away from the police and protect him from bandits. Throughout the shows, full of mischief and inspired by famous tales and stories, the Lyonnais hero and his wooden-souled comrades are always ready to unleash the general hilarity or to kiss a princess (and be kissed by her - princesses are modern!). It's a chance for our youngest visitors to marvel at the adventures of the famous wooden-headed puppet, and for parents to take a trip down memory lane.
