About
An open-air puppet theater in Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, dating from 1836. Kids sit on benches in front of a small painted stage while Guignol, the cheeky hero of French puppetry, gets into trouble and back out again. The company Les Petits Bouffons de Paris keeps the traditional, irreverent style.
There is no roof, so shows only go ahead in dry, mild weather.
