Anyone interested in a trip to the Grand parc Puy du Fou, France in September, we are booked on the Norfolk-line ferry going out on the 5th Sept and returning on the 20th, we have a motorhome and have purchased tickets for the Park on the 10th and 11th September.
The rest of the time we intend just traveling around staying on some Aires and some campsites, if anyone is interested in meeting up while we are away they would be most welcome
This is a link to the Park's web site, which is worth viewing even if you aren't interested in going yet.
I would say mid week. I stayed in Domaine de la Foret which I would heartily recommend too. It's the kind of place people return to again and again. ...anyway back to Puy du fou - it's a tourist attraction primarily for the French, and that's a good thing. All the performances are in french, and although my language skills are pretty basic I was able to pick up the gist. My favourite was the Viking performance, and the Ball of the phantom birds, which was just stunning...oh and the Gladiator show was way over the top extravagance, such a place....I'd love to go again.
Try and time your visit so you are there after dark, I missed those performances unfortunately, but I believe they are worth sticking around for.
We are staying in Domaine Des Forges near Avrille.
Are going to book in advance for Puy Du Fou as we definitely want to see the night time bit.
Have booked our site through CCC so might get them to get the tickets as well, saves a lot of hassle.
Tickets are very easy to book online and are usually cheaper if you do this. Go to their special offers but then they are maybe only available off season. Do not miss it as it is fabulous. Google Puy du Fou
we went to Puy du Fou a couple of years ago. went to an evening performance of the show, spectaular is the only word to describe it. you can also get a small radio in several languages with an earpiece to give you all the information on the show. the radio wasn't very expensive as I remember and also at home you can get radio 2 on it so a double whammy. One point is that the seats are concrete so you will need to take a cushion to sit on and because of the water it also blows up cold in the evenings. mind you it was September when we went and it didn't rain all evening.
We went as well last summer...it was amazing...we did not have the translations but it was still one of the most amazing things i have ever seen.....well worth it...
