MUPPET TIME

Lyon

8 rue de la Poulaillerie, 69002 Lyon

Childhood Memories

If you’re looking for the time in Lyon, head over to 8 rue de la Poulaillerie, in the city’s second district. Here, the 7-metre-tall Muppet Clock (Horloge aux Guignols) greets passers-by. Within, Guignol, Gnafron, and Harlequin twist and turn every quarter hour, pulling on the cords to ring the bells. Precision time-keeping and a show as a bonus—what a great deal!
