2 . Puy du Fou is the second most visited theme park in France, after Paris Disneyland, and the world’s greatest, and most authentic, living history park.
Founded in 1977 by a young local aristocrat with a passion for history, Philippe de Villiers, the theme park has developed to become a multi-attraction historic theme park providing a trip back in time to different ages and times of the past.
Unlike Disneyland, Puy du Fou — while making sure that the attractions all provide a great visitor experience — also takes pride in ensuring a fair degree of historical accuracy. The sets and the shows are pictures of the world as it really was... with a few special effects added in.
In the summer holiday period (June to mid September), climax of the day is the famous “Cinéscénie”. the original event around which the Puy du Fou theme park has subsequently developed and expanded. This magnificent after-dark spectacular of light, fireworks, sound and action, set against the backdrop of the old Château du Puy du Fou, has been seen over the years by over 10 million spectators, lasting 1 hour and 40 minutes, involving 1200 actors and extras, and performed over a 50 acre stage.
