Puy du Fou: a theme park that plunges you into the heart of history

From Antiquity through the adventure of the Gauls, to musketeers, through knights and Vikings, the demonstrations are steeped in realism, supported by visual and sound effects that will make great directors pale. A particular sight has eagles flying over the spectators' heads. In the evening, the huge show featuring 1200 actors is definitely not to be missed.
