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!

Spent 6 hours exploring this park and covered most of it. The range of plants was impressive and loads were in flower which meant glorious colours. My friend and I are both keen gardeners so this was a delight. There are a lot of games areas, playgrounds and puzzles dotted around so younger children would have lots to do. The pedal boats and the dinosaur 4D film are fun for all ages, as is the balloon ride. I loved the butterfly house and the orchids were spectacular too. Lunch was good value and very tasty although on a crowded day I think the queue would probably be very long. Probably better to bring your own and use one of the picnic areas.
4. Les Forges de Pyrene
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 344 reviews
Les Forges de Pyrène, the village that came back from the past... Where time stopped, where men and machines from the last century come back to life. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the 1900s Ariège villages that still resonate in this shady 5-hectare park at 5 km from Foix.

We went here with friends and their children. The children age 12 to 16 loved it all! I think there are enough reviews and photos for you to have an idea. Some tips: - they have water shoes for hire - you will get a wet suit - it feels scary sometimes but really all that can happen is you get wet and might gulp down some water Great morning out!

When you have a two week holiday with teenagers most parents know by now fully well that you need to build in some activities to keep away from getting agitated ???? So we went on a 30c day fully sunny for something in the shade. Our kids thought this was great fun! They actually worked together and helped eachother..... thats quite something for a 13 and 16 yr old. The place is just of the main road and has a big parking area. Word of advice: DO NOT LEAVE ANY VALUABLE BELONGINGS IN THE CAR! There was a family that had car window smashed in and ipads and bags stolen.... There are several loops to do and our kids used a good two hours to do the difficult one plus half an hour waiting/instruction.
