    Guignol is the comic hero of French puppetry. He corresponds to the German Kasper. His name passed to the venues of the corresponding plays (Le Guignol), which are sometimes misleadingly referred to as puppet theaters.

    The hand puppet Guignol was created by the unemployed worker Laurent Mourguet in Lyon between 1810 and 1812 and is said to have his own facial features. Guignol's faithful friend is Gnafron (named after Laurent's friend), his adversary the Gendarme Flageolet.
    This house was his last home, he died here in 1844.

    Laurent Mourguet retired in 1840 and from then on lived in Vienne at rue du 4 septembre, where he died in 1844. Two of his ten children took over the Guignol Theater after his death.
