Unusual weekend with friends at Puy du Fou
Are you looking for an original experience to spend an unusual weekend with friends? You have already visited traditional amusement parks and you are wondering if the Puy du Fou could appeal to you? Do you like shows? That's good news: it's our trademark!
For this unusual weekend with friends, enjoy special effects and spectacular stunts. You'll experience intense moments of emotion in the heart of monumental and strikingly realistic settings. Not to mention the immersive experiences in which it will be up to you to enter the setting and walk through a Verdun trench in the middle of World War I, to cross the oceans on board an 18th century ship or to accompany the King of the Franks in a stunning universe!
An unusual weekend with friends, not only for history lovers
Maybe Madame Michaud's history lessons in 3ème B didn't leave you with fond memories... But don't tell us that this prevented you from loving the series Vikings, Game of Thrones, the games Assassin's Creed or the films Gladiator and recently 1917!
At the Puy du Fou, we do not give history lessons. Our shows are designed like blockbuster movies and are based on historical or legendary events and characters to surprise, captivate and move you... You don't need a doctorate in History, languages and ancient literature to enjoy them!
At the Puy du Fou, there is no question of presenting boring historical shows either! Special effects are at the heart of each creation! Have you ever seen an 18-metre high dungeon move by itself and a 60-metre long wall disappear in a few seconds? Have you ever shuddered at the appearance of a 20-metre long ship rising from the depths with its crew of Viking barbarians on board? Have you ever experienced a show while sitting in a 360° rotating stand? If you answered "no" to any of these questions, you are likely to be surprised and amazed! Each Puy du Fou creation features special effects that are unique in the world on stages with ultra-realistic settings. Attending a Puy du Fou show is like entering a film set in full swing. Engine... ACTION!
