THÉÂTRE LE GUIGNOL DE LYON (COMPAGNIE MA)
Read moreThe Guignol de la rue Carrand could just as easily draw the curtain following the departure of the Zonzons company - remote by the municipality whose relationship with Guignol still seems problematic… - with whom Guignol and his entire troupe (we must know that the puppets belong to the city…) had spent so many years. Let's say it all go, it wasn't going to happen like that! We are Lyon and Guignol is part of the heritage. Fortunately, the MA company took over the torch (we hope it won't stop) and we could attend a representation of Guignol and the 40 seats, "pestacle" programmed until June. We will probably have to wait until the spring to learn more about the fate of this beautiful house dedicated to Guignol which, we hope, will continue to live without ever becoming a museum!
LA MAISON DE GUIGNOL
Read morePunch always has a say, even when masked! We fell in love with this superb old-fashioned theatre in the heart of the Saint-Georges district, at the foot of the rugged Gourguillon hill and on the Place de la Trinité. Futé loves the good-natured atmosphere of the place, the café-theatre atmosphere, an integral part of Lyon's heritage, and of course the shows by Guignol from the classical repertoire or composed of creations. In addition, the Maison de Guignol offers excellent café-theatre shows in the evenings. Privatization possible.
L'ÂNE ROUGE
Read moreLyon, with its well-behaved image, is a city that loves humor. Established over 50 years ago in one of the most beautiful streets in the Renaissance district, l'Âne Rouge has forged a solid reputation in Lyon's cabaret scene, somewhere between theater and restaurant. In the shelter of its superb 16th-century cellar, it perpetuates a long tradition while keeping up with the times under the direction of Didier Bouchaud. Start at 8:30pm for a well-prepared dinner-show featuring the evening's comedian and a magician. A carefully-curated program that favors one-man shows, with some fine new discoveries. Laugh out loud as you wait for the dessert served at the end of the show. An authentic Lyon cabaret.

Formerly a village hall, this national stage offers a varied program that reaches a wide audience, from committed plays to the great classics. Directed by Courtney Geraghty, it is a place to promote the work of regional directors.

L'ÉPICERIE MODERNE

With its eclectic, cutting-edge yet accessible programming, this venue offers a unique creative space.

Whether it's a concert, a show or an exhibition, you're guaranteed a rich and unique cultural experience, in a spirit of discovery and sharing. It's the place to be for art and culture lovers.
LA RICANE
Read moreLa Ricane was created by Jérôme Chevoppe, actor, author and director. And since 2019, it is Michèle Hirsch who has taken over the reins of this theater. But this change was made in the continuity. Thus, in a garage refurbished, rather dark, the good franquette, every Friday and Saturday, artists, exclusively comedians, occur. The objective of the invited artists: to make the audience laugh! Between situational comedy and comedy of gestures, each show is always more offbeat, always more entertaining.
CABARET ELEGANCE
Read moreCabaret Élégance is the place to be for lovers of shows and entertainment in Renaison. This cabaret offers dinner and show packages, concerts and themed evenings. Whether it's a dinner or a lunchtime show, you can enjoy an exceptional moment in the company of talented artists. The two-hour show blends modernity and tradition, with feathers, rhinestones and the famous French Cancan. The cabaret has an air-conditioned room for the comfort of spectators.

COMÉDIE ODÉON
Read moreIn Lyon, there is the Roman Odeon on the Fourvière hill and there is the Comédie Odéon in the heart of the Presqu'île. A theatre that has reopened its doors for a season that promises to be exciting. The Comédie Odéon consists of a unique 300-seat theatre, a real gem of its kind. If the premises have kept a certain old-fashioned charm, they have been redesigned for our greater comfort as demanding spectators. Quality shows, great names in humour, theatre or music.
