PUY DU FOU near La Roche sur Yon, is a theme park based on the history of France, it a not-for-profit org. run by thousands of volunteer actors! It is one of the most amazing spectacles we have ever seen, our pictures do not do it justice! The shows were incredible, some of which we weren't allowed to take photos! The costumes, the colours, the horses and the special effects, all live, were beyond belief, with rising castle walls and huge Castle Keeps moving forward and swivelling too!
The Cinéscénie on the Friday night was so marvellous, neither of us have ever seen anything like it, taking place over 23 hectares with 24,000 costumes, the buildings were lit up with loads of special designs and images using 3D video projections, fountains and fireworks as they worked their way through French history from the Revolution to the 2nd World War, nearly two hours of incredible acting with fire and cannons etc! Unfortunately we weren't allowed to film it, but as it finished at 12 midnight, you would have needed a professional camera to capture it all! Apparently it's the biggest night time show in the world!!
The raping and pillaging Vikings
The Roman Colosseum !
Think we will go a long way before we ever see anything so fantastic again!
