Heir to a two-hundred-year-old Amiens tradition, this rod and string puppet theatre puts on shows that bear witness to the liveliness of Picardy's culture and humour!

A rod and string puppet (‘cabotans’) theatre featuring little actors made of wood and fabric, the heirs of a two-century old Amiens tradition, and a municipal collection of 204 puppets. Living heritage with performances for young and old! Exhibition visit. An authentic puppet theatre in the Saint Leu district that stages Ch'Lafleur, a dreamer and real moaner, and his mate Tchiot Blaise, 2 figures from the heritage of Amiens.
