  This is a park that I've barely seen any English language content online about ever, so I thought I'd take a go at covering it. It's definitely super hard to get all the details correct when everything's in another language. Stay tuned for more from the weird world of theme parks coming in the future!

  the dramatic theatre kid within me is losing my mind at simply seeing footage of all these shows, i can't imagine how awesome it'd be to watch these in person

  Me at the start: How can this theme park possibly work with no rides?<br><br>Me at the end: This might be the greatest theme park ever built and I must visit it immediately.

  Beware when you attend the show, the crew usually picks up some people in the public, take them behind the scenes, give them costumes and... make them part of the show. My brother was chosen once, it was a blast 🙂

  Fun fact about the Vikings - though odd, most converted to Christianity &amp; settled down after years of raiding monasteries &amp; churches in Britain. They even had a phrase for it &quot;Christ on land, Thor at sea&quot;

  More countries should have something like this honestly.

  The pigs ARE, in fact, included in that number. The park counts animals as actors

  As a Belgian speaking French and a novice curious historian I am well aware of the biases and controversies. But I still would gladly visit this place as it&apos;s so incredible. I can&apos;t deny the workmanship of so many artists and actors doing their best and the uniqueness of the experience. I hope they improve in the best way possible but such a place is worth a visit.

  As a french guy who has been to Puy Du Fou many times I think that what makes the park so charming is the atmosphere. Like how the medieval town is actually a real marketplace where you can go inside the stores and buy hand-crafted items from metal and leather workers, stone sculptors, etc. <br>Also, in the coliseum, before the show starts, the crowd is split into 2 rival groups (romans and gauls) and actors keep hyping us up, it&apos;s actually very entertaining and actually serves a purpose in the story. <br>In my opinion it&apos;s the best show because you actually feel like you&apos;re an actor in this one as they get you involved throughout<br><br>Great video ! ⭐

  I loved seeing someone try to explain Puy Du Fou to people who’ve never heard of it 🤣

  As someone who doesn&apos;t really enjoy rides and loves history, Puy Du Fou really appeals to me. As a kid, I loved my family&apos;s trips to places like Colonial Williamsburg, Old Sturbridge Village, and even some bigger Renaissance Festivals. There&apos;s just something about being in a large immersive space. Sadly, I&apos;m American and don&apos;t know French, so I&apos;ll probably never get to go to Puy Du Fou and we don&apos;t really have anything in that midpoint between Disney parks and living history on this continent.

  This video made the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics make a lot more sense.
