Breathtaking experience in the heart of the Vendée, idyllic department of Western France: It is undoubtedly worth to reserve minimum a full day to visit the Puy du Fou Grand Parc (60 evening and daytime shows based on French actual and literary history, 4 period villages, 25 restaurants and 5 themed hotels) and book separately well in advance the spectacular 1hr 40m 2400 actors 4000 volunteers “Cinéscénie”, world’s biggest night-time show. Puy du Fou, 2nd most visited park in France after Disneyland Paris and winner of the “Thea Classic Award 2012” for "outstanding, breakthrough visitor attractions that have stood the test of time” is a must and bare in mind that due to shows time agenda and wide portfolio of events you need to plan carefully your visit: Attending 12 shows was a huge accomplishment during my stay; Amongst them I’d recommend: Indoor: “Mousquetaire du Richelieu”, “Le Dernier Panache”; Outdoor Not Covered: “Le Secret de la Lance”, “Le Bal des Oiseaux Fantômes”, “Les Vikings”; Outdoor Covered: “Le Signe du Triomphe” (Held only Once per day!); Make sure to wander around the picturesque “Le Bourg 1900”’s shops!

A visit to the area is not complete without a trip to explora parc. It is fabulous, it really is. We got a great briefing in perfect English and the kit was very easy to use. After a quick demo to the team that you know what you are doing, you’re off. Depending on age/height there is a choice of routes but even the blue routes used by our 9yr olds was quite hairy, there are reds and blacks as well but we didn’t have the time to do those. There is a great atmosphere, all the staff are very helpful but the real clincher is the fact that you can go round as many times as you like in which ever routes you are able to do. You can take your harness off, have a breather and then carry on. For younger kids 4yo and under there is a massive trampoline area to explore, this does cost extra if combined with the climbing. We went first week in June and it was very quiet, this helped but even if busy there is a lot to do. Make sure you check opening times, especially out of season, as we found it only opened one day during the week. Well worth a visit though.
