Théâtre La Cachette, laughter in an intimate venue
In Villers-lès-Nancy, on the edge of the city, Théâtre La Cachette is a warm little theatre entirely devoted to young audiences. Here you discover shows by the 3 Chardons company, designed for the very young, in an intimate room where children sit in the front rows, right by the actors. An ideal morning or afternoon family outing, to share a moment of storytelling, laughter and wonder during your stay.
A theatre designed for children
La Cachette is set up specially to welcome families with young children. The intimate room fosters real closeness to the stage: the front rows are reserved for children, who experience the show right by the actors. Productions blend storytelling, puppets and songs, in a format suited to little ones' attention spans. It is a gentle first encounter with theatre, in a reassuring setting where you can laugh, react and marvel without feeling daunted by a big auditorium.
Shows by the 3 Chardons company
The programme is led by the 3 Chardons company, which keeps alive a wide repertoire of shows created for young audiences. The performers are at once storytellers, puppeteers and hosts: they invite children and parents into the story, sometimes to take part. Performances change over the seasons, each with its own world and gentle message. One venue can thus host several stories across the year, so you can return without ever finding exactly the same show.
A family outing next to Nancy
Located in Villers-lès-Nancy, a neighbouring town, the theatre is easy to reach from central Nancy. Performances generally take place at weekends and during school holidays, often in the morning and early afternoon, which fits young children's rhythm well. It is a precious idea on a stay: a short cultural activity, suited to little ones, that also works on rainy days. Do check the current show and times on the official website, and book ahead.
A place families love
Audiences happily return for the atmosphere and the quality of welcome, often cited in their feedback. People value the closeness to the actors, the gentleness of the shows and the child-scale format, which reassures parents and little ones alike. For a family passing through, it is a chance to enjoy a genuine local cultural outing, far from standardised attractions. A charming venue with real know-how for the very young, worth keeping in mind if you travel with children.
