Puy Du Fou is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. They call it an amusement park, but there are no rides, just “experiences” and “spectacles.” We watched in amazement over and over again as each “spectacle” outdid the last. There are terrific performances by both people and animals: raptors, piglets, geese and most notably horses. Gestures are grand and themes are sweeping. Be prepared to immerse yourself in French. The App has explanations, subtitles, and some live voice translations and the staff is very accommodating in English if you need that, but your French needs to be pretty solid. You definitely need the app to navigate the park and get to the shows you want to see. Do plan well, you need to be in line for your chosen spectacles at least 30 minutes before the show starts. And if you want to buy the fast pass (pass emotion) you have to do it well in advance (we were too late to get it). There were people there of all ages, including families, retirees, and people in their 20s. The food throughout the park was also very good. We did two days, which was just right for the two of us and we were glad we had both days. You can’t see all of the spectacles in one day. It’s hard to choose favorites, but the Bal Des Oiseaux Fantomes was one we keep talking about.

This is a different amusement park, and a great change from the “common” parks with rides and roller coasters. Different shows, most of them really spectacular, display French, and hence also partly European, history from the days of the Roman empire to the 2d world war. The parking is free and very well organized. Some advice is to examine the programme carefully before you go, so that you know at what time the different shows will take place and give priority to those you find most interesting (don’t miss the birds show!). Then you can fill the time in between with the attractions you can just walk through. The late evening show 'Les Noces de Feu' is well worth waiting for. We came with our teenage children, and that was perfect – this is not really a parc for small kids. One problem was that they don’t know French, and therefore missed some of the stories. But knowing a bit of history, they understood most of it still. We were advised beforehand to bring our own food. That saved us both time and money.

I have been coming to Puy du fou every year for years. If you are considering going, just do it and don’t look at too much in the internet as it will spoil the surprises in the shows. I think it is better than Disney with cheaper prices and the park actually cares about their audience.

What an amazing place this is. Too much to do in one day though. I loved the Vikings and Le Ballads Des L’Oiseax. ( the dance of the birds) The enactments are so realistic! There were 300 different birds swooping over our heads! You can hire mobility scooters as it goes up quite a steep hill so if you have mobility issues it may be a bit difficult. Well worth the money.

An amazing experience! Spectacular shows illustrating the history of France. The settings and actors are incredible. Le Puy du Fou has won the award for best theme park in the world for several years running and it is totally justified.

The whole park is just amazing, with the highlight being the night shows. Everything is well done, with creative attractions and caring, attentive service - and an extremely good value for money compared to "traditional" theme parks that usually cost double. Of course it is in a remote area of France. The only negative element I can think of is the fact that it is an attraction that caters more to French speakers and foreigners might not get all the benefits of some of the shows.

Honestly I couldn't write anything more to this amazing place that has not been said already...... Just go. We had an a fantastic time here the shows yes all in French were outstanding and while we could understand some parts it really didn't matter we had an amazing time. We are still talking about it.

There were 10 family members, including myself & on this occasion I required the use of a wheelchair, due to a fractured leg. I have been previously, but this time experienced it from a different perspective. We pre-booked the chair by phone 3 days earlier (cost apx 12 euros) you need to leave your passport as security. Fortunately we had these with us, but it wasn't mentioned over the phone upon booking - that would have been helpful. We were given an emotion pass which allowed 4 of us to enter the arena's from an easier wheelchair friendly point, and a little earlier than the rest of the audience. This was really appreciated. Lots of disabled friendly WCs around too. The day was great, we loved it (again...this was our 2nd visit, but previous visit around 10 years ago). We parked in the disabled area, by asking upon arrival, and the staff removed bollards, to point us in the correct direction, which was much better for me to get into the park, as it was significantly closer. Overall, an excellent day out, that our whole family enjoyed.

We spent 2 days visiting Puy Du Fou and had an amazing time. I cannot put into words how this place surpassed our expectations. The shows are of a high quality and the environment is immaculate. Everything is in French but the app works well in the shows to provide simultaneous translation although we could not get it to work in the immersive walk through experiences and it did drop out at times. Although that didn’t detract from our enjoyment of it. Just make sure you have enough battery power on your phone and Some headphones! The app was excellent from the information about the shows, to the translations, the programme generator and directions. We all had an excellent time and our party was mixed ages from 11 to 77. This park has even impressed a sometimes hard to please 16 year old who when we booked it wasn’t sold on a ‘theme park’ with no rides. Now she is planning how she can come back. I would definitely recommend a visit.

5 adults spent day here. Honestly blown away with how good it was. We didn't have emotion pass as these were sold out weeks ago but the queues weren't too bad. The shows are amazing. Only downside was the translation tool on the app was very sketchy and kept glitching which made listening to it impossible most of the time. The stories were fairly easy to follow though and just watching the spectacles was enough. Maybe a suggestion would be to have a short summary of the stories for English people to read in a leaflet rather than trying to follow the audio translations. Id say this is a great place for families with kids older than say 8 as some of the walkthrough stories are quite scary and dark. You could avoid these with little ones though.
