Punch and Judy but better, witty and even satirical, for kids of ALL ages!
The two companies listed even have evening shows especially for adults, where the peccadilloes of politicians and other figures local and national get their comeuppance, but all in good fun.
There are two other Guignol theatres; the Yvonne Moritz company does open air shows in the Parc de la Tête d'Or using traditional repertoire, the Daniel Strebl company on the Croix-Rousse is only suitable for toddlers
This is only if you have a reasonable level of French, but if you do, and you miss Guignol, you've missed Lyon!
