Puy du Fou – A Grand Day Out in the Vendée

If you are looking for a great family day out while staying at our 5-star Vendée campsite, La Garangeoire, then Puy du Fou is well worth a visit.

Puy du Fou is a spectacular historical theme park, located just 50 miles from La Garangeoire. Its shows include chariot racing, gladiators, falconry, a Roman amphitheatre, and dramatic battle re-enactments. It is the largest tourist attraction in the Vendée.

Murphy family review

The Murphy family from Bristol are regular visitors to La Garangeoire, and shared their experience of Puy du Fou:

“For the last four years, we have booked our holidays with EuroResorts. We went with a more well-known company before that, but found that EuroParcs (now EuroResorts) offered much better service at a considerably lower cost!

During last year’s holiday at our favourite site, La Garangeoire, we decided to go to the Puy du Fou theme park. It didn’t take long to get there and was well worth the pleasant drive. We would recommend it to everyone! There is so much to do, and it is done so well.

We saw an exhilarating medieval battle re-enactment with knights on horseback, massive war machines and flame-throwing trebuchets. There was an amazing bird display ending in hundreds of birds swooping around the amphitheatre to music, and the most exciting Roman Games with real lions!

You must see the indoor spectacle about the Musketeers, with hundreds of actors and horses choreographed with incredible precision. Our only regret is that our kids had so much fun they were too tired to stay for the evening Cinéscénie. Oh well, next time!” — B. Murphy, Bristol
