Guignol



Located In the middle of the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris is one of the largest puppet theaters. I know, to think there are several to even compare is surprising, but there are at least 10 puppet theaters in Paris that remain active. Inside, you'll meet meet Guignol, the marionette that has been thrilling and chilling children since 1808 ! You don't need to speak French to enjoy Guignol's bawdy humor, his silly gags or the seasoned whacks he delivers to his unsuspecting adversaries. The kids cheer and shriek and stomp their feet. I love this place!
