Puppets in Paris - Guignol and Friends



We found this wonderful Gignol puppet theater while strolling along the Champs Elysées in Paris.



It was run by this colorful barker/puppeteer.




Mrs. Guignol explains that Guignol himself is absent today, and she must go to her kitchen to fix food for her guest:




Her husband's brother, Don Christobel!





Guignol's son, Jérome, is full of mischief - mostly at the expense of Uncle Christobel.




The audience loves it - especially the little kids!





They are captivated!





Totally mesmerized!






The Gendarme comes and rescues poor Christobel, captures that rascal Jérome, and saves the day!


Curtain. The End.

Could this count as Family Home Evening? I read it twice!

It's not the same high quality as Ashley's FHE, but it counts for sure.
