Puy du Fou: opening of the 2024 season
Over 45 years of history
The story begins in 1977 when Philippe de Villiers had the idea of creating an amusement park in the Vendée. Initiated as a sound and light event, the park soon evolved into an immersive experience offering shows retracing history. Travel through eras such as the Middle Ages and the Renaissance during your visit.
