Le Signe du Triomphe show at the Puy du Fou

The Sign of Triumph, a unique show

Created in 2011 and renewed in 2022, the Signe du Triomphe is one of the seven main shows at Le Puy du Fou.

At each performance, 7,000 spectators take their seats in the Coliseum's tiers to witness the high-flying Gallo-Roman Circus Games.

An incredible show

For 34 minutes, you're in the heart of Ancient Rome, where the battle between Romans and Gauls rages on.

Set in a 6,000m2 replica of the Colosseum, are you ready to witness the Circus Games as they were back in the day?

On the programme: gladiator fights, chariot races and a stunning finale! The sets are incredibly realistic, and the costumes worn by dozens of actors are breathtaking. And what about the huge imperial galley, 40 metres long and 15 metres high?

In keeping with today's concerns, the Signal du Triomphe was modified in 2022: the wild beast fighting event (now banned in the shows) has been replaced by an incredible naval battle.

Take part in the Sign of Triumph!

The special thing about the Sign of Triumph is that a small number of spectators are chosen to take part in the show and enter the arena!

You'll even have the chance to don a Roman or Gaulish costume! So if you fancy taking part, get ready!
