Brindas is often regarded as the second home of Guignol, a French children's puppet show. Indeed the name of the village is often quoted in parts of Guignol with that of the town of Chaponost. Additionally, Pierre Neichthauser, mayor of Brindas from 1929 until 1940, was also the puppeteer for the character Gnafron in the Guignol Mourguet theatre.
