In the heart of Vendée, the Puy du Fou park is not just a theme park; it represents an extraordinary experience where you immerse yourself in the history of France.

Every year, millions of visitors from around the world come to experience grandiose shows that retrace the greatest French epic tales from Antiquity.

Varied Shows

Visitors to the Puy du Fou park have a wide range of performances to choose from, lasting between 15 and 45 minutes. The park is open from early April to early November. However, if you want to attend the Cinéscénie, you should know that the show only takes place on Friday and Saturday evenings from June to early September. The months of May, June, and September are often recommended for a more enjoyable visit, as temperatures are mild and the crowds are smaller compared to the summer school holidays.

The 7 Grand Shows

Puy du Fou is famous for its spectacular grand shows that transport spectators to different historical periods:

The Dance of the Ghostly Birds: Retracing the memories of Eleanor through over 330 birds of all species flying around and sometimes very close to the audience.
The Vikings: A show depicting a Viking attack, featuring chaos, impressive special effects, and fire handling.

The Secret of the Lance: A medieval show with knights and stunts.

Cinéscénie: The Iconic Night Show

Cinéscénie is undoubtedly the highlight of a visit to the Puy du Fou park. This epic nighttime performance begins at 10:30 pm, which might be late for younger visitors, especially after a busy day at the park. However, it’s a stunning show that would be a shame to miss.

It brings together more than 2,000 volunteer actors on a 23-hectare stage, offering an impressive historical fresco that tells the history of Vendée from the Middle Ages to World War II. With spectacular special effects, grand sets, and enchanting music, Cinéscénie is a true masterpiece of incredible proportions.
