5. Grand Parc Puy du Fou

Gladiators, Vikings and Musketeers

A spectacular pirate show in progress, Grand Parc Puy du Fou

In 1977, the ruined 15th-century castle of Guy de Puy du Fou was made the centrepiece for a summer night pageant called the Cinéscénie. A torch-lit spectacle retracing the history of a local family, from the Middle Ages to World War II, it featured a cast of 1,200 local volunteers. It was so popular that, in 1989, the Grand Parc Puy du Fou was created. It is the fourth most-visited theme park in France – and without a single ride. The park re-creates historic settings and spectacles in full costume: Viking attacks, sword-fighting Musketeers, a show with 150 birds of prey and more.
