Puppets from the Luxembourg Gardens — Attraction in Paris

We saw the 3 little pigs in french (Les Trois petits cochons) and overall it was really nice. It's definitely over priced at 7€ even if you're a child or adult! The production value is better than most but to price it at 7 euros for anyone is a bit ridiculous even if the owner feels his investment in the production is better than most, he seems to forget that there are lots of live plays with many more actors, much larger sets, costume design, lighting, in a more expensive and larger rented theater space for 7-10 euros. There's a nice making of at the start of the play (shown on a TV screen that is later raised when the play starts) which is cool but the director inserted himself in nearly every shot and would have been nice to show a little more of the puppets themselves. The story itself was changed from the original with some appearances of other puppets from earlier shows which is fine but would have been nice to do more with the sets/elements from the original story. Overall, might go again but think the price should be 5 euros for adults and 3-4 euros for kids. For the theater space and the crowd at Luxembourg, this should be...

Great show and even though our kids didn’t speak French. It was just so neat to see such historic site and puppets.

Our favorite was the horse and carriage and duck scene. Our toddler saw the whole show but we can see how others might have a hard time. The show doesn’t keep them engaged the whole entire time, there’s times they are just talking and got dull for youngsters. They do allow food so we were able to give our toddler snack so that helped...

My ranking of Paris tourist experiences is 1. Eiffel Tower 2. Notre Dame 3. Marionettes of Luxembourg Gardens. Living nearby, the Marionette show is always a hit for my family. It's obvious a lot of love and dedication go into each performance and adults even get lost in the show. In this modern age of technology, it's a bit like going back in time when I come here. I hope it will continue to be around for many years to come. At 6.70€ per ticket prices are reasonable and you get a solid hour of entertainment. The show is broken up halfway through (which is perfect for little ones) for a small break with snacks and merchandise available for purchase. Take the kids to the park next door and you can spend a great after there as well as...
