Amazing and very funny show.
I would recommend it for all kids and adults. And if your kid has a birthday I recommend you say so at the check-in so that Guignol would song happy birthday at the end of the show.
We even got to visit the back stage where all the magic happens. Kids were amazed and happy.
Fun morning out with the kids. Lovely little theatre. They took the kids backstage after the show to get a glimpse into what goes on behind the scenes.
Excellent puppet show for kids and grown ups.
I like how they chose the play for the audience demographics. It provided light hearted “physical” humour. I loved how we saw the back of the set. The experience was around 40mins total.
However, got laughed at for failing to understand french at the front desk which wasn’t a very pleasant experience, could hear them as I was walking up the stairs after.
Must understand basic French to enjoy. Any age from 3ish to adults will laugh at the silly puppets and audience participation is hilarious. Puppeteers come out in the end to answer questions which is also very fun. There are some great jokes that stick in your head. Affordable fun for about 45 minute theater show.
Great guignol stories for kids
It was a lovely show and the crew made their own stories with pop culture icons and even for a tourist with limited French, I enjoyed it. It was also great to see how children were having fun.
