Despite holding the fourth position in the rating of entertainment parks in France, the Puy du Fou theme park is well worth visiting. The entertainment park Puy du Fou spans across 50 hectares of land in the Vendée Department, in western France. The founder and visionary of the theme park was the student, now a well-known politician – Philippe de Villiers. Back in 1977, de Villiers had the idea for creating an original show called "Cinescenie", which translates to "stage in motion". Ever since then Puy du Fou organizes daily theme shows like Gladiator, The Vikings, The battle of the Keep, The Phantom Birds Dance, Richeulieu's Musketeers, and the largest of all - the Cinescenie, which takes place only when it gets dark.

Spectators will see gladiators racing chariots, super modern airplanes, huge monsters, and a lot more. An after party for the children is organized in the form of a theme dinner featuring traditional French food in medieval village setting. The village, by the way, also has an Academy of horse riding, as well as a Falconry Academy, where you can watch rare birds from all over the world.
