La Folle épopée de M. Paul: an extravagant adventure

This summer, let yourself be swept away into the whimsical world of Mr. Paul, a retired deliveryman whose incredible tales captivate an entire village—starting with young Margot. Through nine short stories blending comedy, imagination and reflections on current themes such as nature and the environment, this endearing character will take you on a journey through astonishing settings thanks to impressive digital projections. The theatre’s famous giant puppets will burst into the heart of the action, moving among the audience and even over their heads!

Settle in comfortably for the show, sheltered from the rain or cold

The show is presented in a covered amphitheatre and the audience sits in swivel chairs equipped with heated harnesses that immerse you in the heart of the action and keep you comfortable on cooler evenings. Thanks to this unique setup, you can swivel your seat to follow the story as it unfolds all around you. Since the action takes place high above and throughout the entire stage area, every seat offers excellent visibility of the show.

Great activities on site

Starting at 5 p.m., the theatre grounds welcome you with a variety of activities to enjoy before the performance. You can admire the giant puppets on display and go on a hunt for the “Scrabbles”—small puppets that are hidden all over the grounds. A buffet dinner is also available on site and there are picnic areas available if you want to bring your own meal. And for a pre-show stroll, take the pedestrian bridge that leads to the nature park, which boasts superb views of two rivers.
