Puy Du Fou (speaking pronouncement Pwi Du Fu)

Is a historical theme park place Les Epesses in the French department of Vendée. In terms of visitor numbers, the park is the second park in France and the eleventh in Europe with 25 restaurants and 6 themed hotels.

The history of Puy du Fou as an amusement park starts in 1977 when Philippe de Villiers, a twenty-six-year-old student (now a French politician), and Jean Saint-Bris, decided a young creator of the sound-and-light shows in the Loire Valley to create a show called 'cinéscénie.'

Puy du Fou is a show park and has no roller coasters. The park is also known to be the De Parkshow Raveleijn in Efteling, Kaatsheuvel, the Netherlands. Also in terms of show techniques, what Puy du Fou is used in their park shows, are in Ravelijn. In Puy du Fou these effects are more extended contrary to that of Raveleijn. The actors of Ravelijn are also all French.

Puy du Fou had plans for a park located close to Toverland, Sevenum, the Netherlands, but that has never continued.

On March 27, 2021, the second branch of Puy Du Fou opened; Puy du Fou España. In the mountains of Toledo, Spain.

Puy Du Fou is also working on a park in China; Puy du Fou, China.

And there is also Puy du Fou Standalone Show named; "Saga." Saga should premiere in 2022.
