\"Gignol-Theatre<\/a>Children may not understand French, but visual art is multi-lingual.<\/p>\n

Below is a list of ideas for Marionnettes, Guignols, Theatre, Magic and Circus. Some theaters close for the winter. For additional information on these entertainment venues, buy either of two weekly, small-format magazines at any newsstand: l\u2019Officiel des spectacles<\/a><\/strong> or Pariscope<\/strong><\/a>. I recommend th l\u2019Officiel (website<\/a>). Pariscope is available on Twitter @Pariscope.<\/p>\n

\n-classic plays
\n-other spectacles (theatre)
\n-talks and workshops
\n-marionnettes\/guignols
