 All terrain treks |
19 Quai Fulchiron Lyon 69005 France +33 4 7241 7386 http://www.amonzevo.com/ |
Located by the Saône, this society offers motor treks, in a 4x4 or a quad, for private or business groups through all kinds of terrain. The treks usually last for either one day or a weekend but it is possible to arrange treks of a longer duration, either in France or abroad. If your mind is overflowing with ideas, the society will research every plan so that your objectives can be realised. As the outings are often tailor-made, prices depend on your own plans.

A modern and younger version of the Guignol Theatre for children and for adults |
2 Rue Louis Carrand 2, rue Louis-Carrand Lyon 69005 France +33 4 7828 9257 |
The Zonzon theater company has recently taken over the Guignol Theater. Without completely doing away with the original spirit of the place, the Zonzons have added some youthful touches to the famous puppets by creating new sets, a new musical production and, above all, some new themes, some of which have been specifically created with adults in mind. Past productions have included "Father Christmas", "Mr. Butterfly Vanishes", and "The Palace". Review © 2007, Wcities |

Here comes Guignol! |
1 Place du Petit-Collège Lyon 69005 France +33 4 7842 0361 |
Located within the Gadagne museum, this museum's exhibit is all about France's best-known puppet - Guignol, created in Lyon in 1908 by the silk worker Laurent Mourguet. Mourguet was the inspiration behind Lyon's satirical street theatre, thanks to his three creations - Guignol, Madelon and Gnafron, who poked fun at the forces of law and order and the king. The museum depicts the evolution of Guignol and Company, both through their performances and the ways in which they were made. Additional puppets from around the world are also on display.
