The King's Galette
As is the custom each year, His Majesty holds the traditional galette, or ”king cake”, gathering. The person who gets the figurine will reign for a whole day. The Grand Steward of the chateau is prepared to cheat in order to have this privilege, but Guignol is also taking part…

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
On her way through the park at a mysterious castle, princess Belle picks a rose, which makes the owner of the property, a Beast, dreadfully angry. The princess is condemned to remain in the castle… Fortunately, her domestic servant Guignol will help her, and the story, that had got off to a very bad start, will have a very happy ending...
February 23 - March 12
MOTHER MICHEL'S CAT
Father Lustucru is quietly fishing when Mother Michel’s cat arrives to steal his fish. This comes very close to ending badly. Fortunately, Guignol will reconcile everybody…
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.
