CHARLEVILLE MEZIERES

Monumental Clock of the "Great Puppeteer"

Every day, every hour from 10am to 9pm. The 12 paintings, on Saturday at 9.15pm.

The 10m high automaton comes to life every hour in the heart of the city, near the Place Ducale and the International Puppet Institute...

Installed in Place Winston Churchill, between the International Puppet Institute and the Ardennes Museum, the great puppeteer is a permanent attraction in the city. This 10-metre high giant, the work of Jacques Monestier, presents the Ardennes legend of the four Aymon sons in twelve tableaux every day from 10 am to 9 pm. Every Saturday at 9.15 pm, all the paintings that make up the legend are presented to the public. A visit to the Musée de l'Ardenne gives a glimpse behind the scenes of this automaton and the names of the donors are engraved on large plaques affixed to the automaton.
