Le Puy du Fou
From our campsite near La Tranche-sur-Mer, you can visit the famous Puy du Fou park in the southern Vendée.
Puy du Fou presentation ?
Spread over 50 hectares of wooded, naturally sloping grounds, the Parc du Puy-du-Fou immerses you in a unique, award-winning journey back in time. Voted “Best Park in the World” for several consecutive years, the animations and settings, based on real ruins, follow one another to let you discover architecture, daily life and ancestral know-how through faithful reconstructions. 4 villages are reconstructed, taking you back in time from a typical village of the last century to the Middle Ages and its fortified enclosures.
Punctuated by strolling entertainment, the journeys between the different eras are punctuated by discoveries that increase in scope as the live shows unfold. Performed on a grand scale and in large-scale structures, the shows plunge you into the epics that built today’s civilizations. From Vikings and their longships ready to attack, to Roman crowds cheering on tragic circus games, the actors are as much a part of the show as the animals, which can be found in knightly rides or aerial balls.
