Café-Théâtre La Maison de Guignol

Located in the heart of Vieux-Lyon, La Maison de Guignol keeps Lyon’s traditions alive whilst embracing a contemporary programme. During the day, this historic theatre presents puppet shows featuring Guignol and his companions, suitable for children of all ages, in a format that is both entertaining and rooted in local heritage.

As night falls, the venue changes pace and becomes a café-theatre hosting a succession of comedies, one-man shows and comedy acts. The programme evolves throughout the year, alternating between new productions, contemporary plays and regular events, in an intimate venue that fosters a close connection with the performers.

La Maison de Guignol also hosts café-théâtre workshops and offers formats tailored to groups, events or on-demand sessions, thereby extending the experience beyond the simple performance.

Combining popular tradition with a vibrant stage, the venue reveals itself as a comprehensive cultural space, where Guignol shares the bill with an eclectic programme designed for all audiences.
