17:15 🤯Can you imagine it's about the same price as the Stratosphere Tower in Vegas???? The Needle in Vegas: "Monday - Thursday: $49 · Friday - Sunday: $59" (45€ to 55€). I prefer going to Le Puy du Fou !!!!! It's an amazing and unique park. Bravo!!! 😇👏🏼
N'attendez plus, franchissez le pas! :) C'est très abordable pourla qualité de ce parc, tant sur le prix des entrées que les gîtes du côté de Montaigu (par exemple) ; allez-y hors saison en septembre-octobre avant leur fermeture hivernale, c'est moins bondé et les shows sont rôdés ;) Prenez un pass 2 jours, sans pour autant loger sur place, et pour économiser préparez vos sandwichs, il y a plein de tables en extérieurs pour picniquer!
J'y suis allé avec ma famille, mes parents et ma soeur m'avaient fait la surprise pour mon anniversaire. C'était vraiment génial, je m'en souviendrai toute ma vie, j'étais comme un gosse devant chaque spectacle. Je crois qu'on a tous préféré les jeux du cirque, c'était vraiment immersif avec le public qui encourage les gladiateurs, on en a pris plein les yeux. On avait l'impression d'être dans le film Gladiator. Vous ne serez pas déçu, parce qu'ils mettent le paquet pour vous émerveiller, acteurs, cascadeurs, orchestres, animaux dressés, jeux de lumière, chorégraphie... Les restaurants sont très bons aussi, ils sont à thème et s'inspirent de plusieurs époques, on avait choisi une sorte de crêperie de style auberge médiévale pour le midi, un café style Belle Epoque années 30 pour le quatre heure, et un restaurant de style renaissance/17e siècle qui faisait du grillé au feu de bois le deuxième jour. Ce parc est un trésor national, faut le faire au moins une fois dans sa vie.
You must stay 3 days for all and enjoy the park. My list of the shows : 1- Vikings 2- Le mime et l'étoile 3- Les mousquetaires 4- Rome Le signe du triomphe 5- le dernier panache 6- le secret de la lance 7- le bal des oiseaux fantomes The best of the best = La CINESCENIE the accommodation in the park is fantastic and the diner show too. 3 days here is perfect.
Thank you so much!! We were thinking of going back this year, so I'll save your recommendations. We heard there's a new one or one that recently received an award this spring that we wanted to check out! 😁
Oh my gosh don’t tell me you have missed the nights shows « noces de feu » and even better « cinescenie »?!… missing cinescenie is like missing the final of a splendid firework. 😮
Also so funny you made the comparison to being like missing the fireworks. I also left Disney and universal before the fireworks shows 🙈😂 gotta go back to all of them now!

Vous n'avez pas fait beaucoup de spectacle. Je l'ai fait il y'a 2 ans, nous avons pu quasiment faire tout le parc en une journée, c'était un peu la course, il nous a manqué un spectacle. Il faut aussi voir la Cinéscénie, qui est le plus grand spectacle du monde en nocturne, juste magnifique. (fait avec quasiment que des bénévoles)
@@collinandmeredith n'hésitez pas à venir dans ma région, je suis à 30 minutes du Puy du Fou et je vous conseil de visiter Clisson, une petite ville unique à l'architecture italienne.
@@collinandmeredith si vous êtes intéressé, je peux vous indiquer les points très sympathique à voir dans la région et vous proposer un petit circuit pour votre prochain voyage
Nahhhh the fact that I literally live 5min away from the Puy du Fou and I never got the chance to visit it (but I still see the hot air balloon (?) with the eagles and the Cinéscénie from my room😅😭) but I'm still happy you went there 🙌
French here 👋 this park is the best alternative when you don't like thrilling attractions like Asterix Park or Disneyland Paris ( my favorite place in the parc is the garden of jean de la fontaine , which for years was animated by animatronics !!)
Wow. I was searching for theme parks in France and this came up- I had no idea. Questions for anyone who knows; Will someone who doesn't speak French be able to understand what they are seeing/experiencing? Can we see everything in one day?
Hi! We hope you enjoyed the video. 😁 For your first question-we know zero French, and we were able to understand (maybe not the nuances of the script, but it didn’t hinder our enjoyment). They also have English pamphlets at the entrance that give a synopsis. 👍 Sadly, you’re not able to see everything in one day. The park has too many shows. We packed our schedule and were only able to see the shows in the video, about half. If you can do two days, that would be ideal. 😁 Otherwise, you can find the schedule online and build out a lineup to maximize your day! Enjoy! You’re going to love it.
At last some foreigners who don't care about Paris and who enjoy France, DEEPLY and FOR REAL. @1:27 BTW Vikings were a thing in France too, I'm from Normandie, my ancestors (Normans) are their direct descendants. (Rollo 's story in "Vikings" tv show, first duc of Normandie in a way, you can visit his grave in Falaise town, where William the conqueror's castle stands still today) .
Because Paris is not part of real France ? 🙄 As far as I know, it’s in Paris the Revolution as began and if it’s weren’t for Parisians act of rebellion we would’ve still been in a puppet state Royal Authority like in England…
reminding that the genetic mix of the normans is not so different than the genetic of the people of France, like the genetic mix of the Bretons is not so different, even the belgians and the dutch except the frisians. The base remains gallic.
@@carthkaras6449 And Latin. Roman Empire did a lot here too. France has always being some kind of gens' pudding. Despite that, Vikings' influence on the culture (except for Normandie) hasn't been as strong as in GB. Franks didn't let that happen. William the conqueror was called "the bastard" at first cause he was the son of a second wife. Polygamy wasn't allowed in France's kingdom. 9 generation after Rollon, it was still a thing in Normandie. + the longship (Drakkar) built mastering. Franks didn't let that happen. Now Africa and middle east is taking over. What our ancestors fought against for centuries, our modern leaders destroyed it in a few decades.
@@guiguijol there are no genetic impact after a few centuries if the foreign population don't exceed 13%. Also, not so much "Latin" genetic too... People tend to forget that north Italian and South French are also of gallic origin.
They also created a Puy du Fou in Spain 2 years ago also going to Germany and soon to China, and soon in China and maybe one day in the United States, of course with the history of each country.
Remark regarding what the French guy said at the beginning : Well Vikings do not originate from France, but they are part of our History too (well north and west mostly) - specially Normandy - dutchy of the north men called Normans, Viking that got lands and authorisation to stay under the crown - they learned french, and assimilate to French culture + their own. Like the Romans are not from France, they let a trace that made the History of France.
That is really well written. It seems the park takes elements / time periods of history that impacted the region, and then turn it into entertaining shows. Thank you so much for watching!
Le Puy du fou est une grande fierté pour la Vendée et beaucoup de français, malheureusement la politisation de tout à travers les médias français (notamment d'extrême gauche) conduit à beaucoup de médisance sur ce parc, qui selon eux enjolivent l'histoire de France...on en revient toujours au même, une sorte de culture de la honte en France au lieu d'être fiers de notre richesse culturelle et historique. BTW, this park is awesome, if you come in France, forget Paris and visit Angers, Nantes, the Puy du Fou, The Futuroscope and the Dordogne Valley ;)
Les gens qui médisent sur le Puy du Fou, soit ils n'y sont jamais allés, soit c'est parce qu'ils ont l'esprit tordu. Allez y avec votre propre personnalité et tout ira très bien.
@@picardiebelleregion9508 je suis d'accord avec vous dans le fond, mais force est de constater la propension de personnes se caractérisant elles-mêmes de gauche (le camp du bien^^) flagellant leur culture et leur histoire...à croire que l'auto détestation est un critère pour faire partie du chapitre 😅 Au travail je n'ose même plus parler de mes weekends au puy du fou (prochaine visite le 5 octobre au passage !🔥🤩😍), des anecdotes de l'histoire de France que j'avais apprises à l'école, ou manifester mon admiration de notre patrimoine, tant à chaque coup un collègue bien pensant se sent obligé de me rappeler l'héritage colonialiste ou suprématiste de la royauté/chrétienté française...par contre bizarrement les mêmes collègues adulent et adoubent les autres cultures et leur patrimoine. Ce constat est décevant, car on a la même nationalité et on vit côte à côte au quotidien, à croire que pour aller bien dans leur peau ils ont besoin de s'acharner sur quelque chose plutôt que d'apprécier leur environnement
Having been 2 times to LE Puy du Fou (I was living not far amny years ago, I can only concur: it is amazin, and also ever expanding. So you can go there every year and see something new. Also, the park itself is awesome. Just going from one show to the other in such nice a setting (instead of all-concrrete) make a difference. Amnd last but not least: do plan to stay around for the night: the "cinéscénie" (the night show in front of the castle) is worth the trip on its own. It is also the type of experience you can share with anyone. Although best enjoyed if you know French of have a decent audio guide to your language. Much would be missed otherwise
Really cool video! I've been there as a kid, I'd love to go again. Just a little feedback about the sound mixing: at some moments the music is a bit too loud when you're speaking.
Thank you so much for watching! We had an incredible time there, and can only imagine the magic for a kid. Also, thanks for the quality tip! We’ve been slowly upgrading equipment. Hopefully in the future the video and audio is smoother 😁
Wow! How did you decide which shows to see? The bird one, Nope just Nope!I loved seeing Max and 'meeting' his girlfriend. Max kinda threw me in the beginning, I didn't remember the thick accent. I am so glad you guys get to experience this type of thing. I don't think I would call it an amusement park though, unless there was another 'side' you didn't show. Hugs
Hahah the bird one was a little scary if you don't like birds! Max and the "french fries" (as we call them now lol) picked out the entire day. They've been every year so they knew which ones were the best to see based on that days schedule. We might have talked Max into using a thick French accent for the intro 😉 ❤️❤️
Puy du Fou in France and Europa Park in Germany... I recommend them to you, eyes closed. In France, every 2 years, you've got a very welknown street medival Festival in Dinan for several days, in Brittany. And in Carcassonne, South of France, they used the Castle for Robin Wood scenes with Kevin Costner. There are every years Festivals and shows, fireworks, in and around the castle's grounds. I have never been in Carcassonne as a french but I heard it is great.
@@collinandmeredith Parc Asterix, close to paris is good too, its a "regular" roller coster theme parc but way better than Disney for me and friends. :) I never been to Europa parc but i would like to go there, y heard its awsome. :))
People in the comments missing the point of the park, is about history yes, but also legends and stories that were told in that time periods, we all know a mermaid didn't give back arthur his sword but it's a legend, in the past catholicism was linked with everything, they even repopulated areas in the country saying a miracle happened, 😂😂😂 just enjoy the park
Hi Laura! Thank you so much for watching! We couldn’t agree more-it’s an entertainment park, and an incredible one at that. 😁 We hadn’t heard yet about the “miracle” of repopulation 😂That is too funny! We hope you enjoy the park, and enjoyed the video. 👍
12:21 that's not the colosseum its an amphitheatre just like the colosseum, but its a French/Gaulish style roman one as France was in the roman empire and the amphitheatre built were like this one, the show isn't representing the Roman history in Italy but generic Roman provincial city in roman Gaul (France) roman empire was massive part of French history founding many cities like Paris, loved the video though
They don't, the only thing I can think of is going to the website ahead of time and reading about each show or printing off the descriptions of the show so you can explain the basics to your son. We don't speak any french, so our friends had to translate a lot of it for us, and it was fine. The acting and entertainment is so great that you'll get the basic idea just by watching!
Une expérience unique, malgré de grands partis pris avec la vraie Histoire. Les "Vikings" ne portaient pas de casques à cornes, par exemple. C'est un cliché qui a la vie dure.
Collin thought one of the worst historical inaccuracy was the viking ships coming up from the water...considering it submarines weren't invented. I thought it made for a great show :)
Si par grand partis pris avec la vraie Histoire, on entend Révisionnisme à la sauce Action Française aussi, c'est pas faux, après l'ambiance est sympa mais bon il y aurait mieux à faire et faut bien prendre ça en compte.
Horned helmets have existed, but not for recorded cases of combat. However, this could potentially have been the case, we don't know, we can't affirm one nor the other, only offer a vision of things.
... pour faire de bon citoyens il faut faire rêver les enfants ! Les casques sont tellement plus beaux avec des cornes ! Si vous tenez vraiment à l'authenticité alors il faut rajouter beaucoup de boue et d'odeurs. Les hommes de cette époque étaient sales, édentés, et cruels. La "vraie Histoire" ne ferait pas rêver les foules. J'habite à Carcassonne qui n'est jamais que le rêve de pierre sorti de l'imagination de M. Viollet Le Duc. La cité n'était plus qu'une enceinte crénelée largement effondrée assortie de quelques tours en ruine. Je le remercie tous les jours d'avoir recréé cette splendeur que le monde entier vient admirer. C'est aussi cet architecte de génie qui a "inventé" la flèche de Notre Dame.
3:05: « to complete maps that had been drafted by captain cook », not really, Captain cook didn’t draft maps but only drafted English Maps based on Spanish Maps drafted since the 16th century. The entire Cook’s expeditions were based on Spanish maps Cook managed to put hands on. Something the English propaganda seems to forget, just like they seem to forget that their navigators had been formed in Spain and used Spanish invented tools for navigation.
ohh that's a hot topic! We are just now really getting into reading about English and Spanish expeditions in our free time! You seem pretty knowledgeable on the topic. Any book recommendations? Cook has been really interesting for us as we've traveled to a few places where he's highlighted as a great explorer, but want to learn more. Thanks for sharing the correction :)
Glad you enjoyed it. It would have been nice to have a word about the historic inacuracies in the shows. Some would even say it's mostly fairy tales with historical themes sprinkled on top. Did Mathilde say something about it ?
Thank you so much for watching! The inaccuracy was not mentioned, but given the nature of the amusement park, we thought it was understood the history would contain many inaccuracies for the sake of showmanship and entertainment. Hopefully nobody shows up expecting a textbook!
This is a great place, for sure. But the locals keep saying they come back every year at least. I don't understand that. Once you've seen everything, there's no real reason to come back
Thank you for watching! Every year might be a lot. This was my second time, and the first was 5 years ago-that was long enough to forget some of the “wow” factor!
it's funny to see what foreign tourists think of this park. I live 10 minutes from Puy du Fou and the company I work for manufactures the structure of the Puy du Fou buildings, so I have unlimited access to the park. Puy du Fou is part of our lives since it keeps tourism going and gives lots of work to local businesses and the park for seasonal workers. small precision. the PDF is a theme park. These are fictionalized shows that aren't really historically accurate. it is only the reflection of the vision of the creator. Therefore, it should not be considered as a historical reenactment park but rather a spectacle park.
Well said. It’s a theme park for entertainment-not a well cited / documented history account. Your company does amazing work making the PDF buildings, they are phenomenal. 😁
Disney c'est du carton pâte, des contes de fées, c'est américain. Je ne suis jamais allées à disneyland paris mais je suis allée plus de 10 fois au Puy du Fou !!! Je suis aussi allée à Efteling au Pays Bas !
This theme park is really fantasic (and you missed the outdoor night show). But, as you insisted a lot on it, be aware that the historical narrative presented is highly contested (and politically oriented)
Comme il est dit dans de nombreux films... l'Histoire est écrite par les vainqueurs... ce sont donc les "vainqueurs" qui contestent l'Histoire du Puy du Fou !!!
@@AlfgardVicAenorDuFay Please, stop arguing. My message is not intended to defend one narrative or another. And especially stop arguing in french in the comments of an english-speaking video/channel.
Thank you! We'll have to add the night show next time we visit. We were careful to only present historical facts in our video but we agree that narrative of the park is very politically oriented.
@@collinandmeredith Don't want to hype too much the night show, but it's my best memory from it ! However, I don't know if there are any sessions in English. (also there is multiple night shows)
Uh ? Captain Cook, an Englishman on a French ship? "In France, Louis XVI demanded to know why his nation was not engaging in such voyages of exploration, and a hasty search was made for a French Captain Cook. The man chosen for the role was Jean-François de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse."
Hey! We agree with you 100% this show is about Pérouse, who as we mentioned, is following in the footsteps of Captain Cook! Could you imagine if Cook was on a French ship 🤣
Great park but a lot of controversies here about the historical accuracy of lots of attractions. Especially the '" Guerres de Vendée" chapter, explaining the genocide of thousands of people from this area... that didn't happen (for some others).
@@jeromosan tu te fou de la gueule du monde, y'a pas consensus, t'as cru que c'était les années 40 ici mdr, pas consensus, sort de ta grotte frère, tah l'idée de vieux wallah
Something that has to be mentionned, is that this park calls itself "historical theme park", but has a very (and well known and claimed) alt right bias. Don't expect to truly learn something about french history, everything that is presented is heavily distorted. Yet, the shows are amazing. But it is always better to know it before to go.
To be honest, the puy du fou look awesome but they do a lot of thing who are historicaly questionable. It's financed by a far right politicien to promote his view on history btw
There are no Victorian style houses in the park. It is a village in one of the many French architectural styles that is reconstituted (France has almost as many as regions). This one is more typical of the "Belle Epoque" (1900). It’s the same for Captain Cook, who never set foot on the boat you’re talking about. Anglo-Saxons, you must stop this arrogance and think that everything comes from you. (second degree) 😉♥
Thank you for watching! And for correcting our architecture. We never said captain cook was on this boat, but we do talk pretty fast so that part may have been missed. 😉
Just a quick reminder about Le Puy du Fou... it's a theater show about French Novel National History (aka the way France looked upon his history with glasses from the 19th century historians) always remind, it's a show which pretends to be historically accurate while it's not. It's like, idk, PPl from Pennsylvania reincarnating History with King Arthur as a Pilgrim Father... sounds fun but... meh, lol.
Ce n'est pas un roman national, le roman national (donc français, républicain), a longtemps véhiculer énormément de fausses informations sur le moyen âge, la renaissance, les temps modernes, etc... Et surtout c'est un roman qui se veut républicain et non pas royaliste, le roman national a notamment réutiliser l'image de Jeanne d'Arc pour des choses qui n'ont historiquement aucun lien, alors qu'elle est représentante de la royauté et du catholicisme français de son époque et de son contexte historique de guerre de territoire entre valois et plantagenets.
According to french historians, most of the "historical" part there are at most exagerated, twisted, when not completly false. So please take this as what it is, an amusement park
L'Histoire "officielle" et ripouxblik'haine ? Je pourrais vous en apprendre sur les mensonges et la propagande que subissent les français depuis 260 ans !
Generally these people writing these reviews have not even read the scripts of the shows, which are accessible in pdf with a little searching. Each time I demonstrate that each show is placed in a historical context with references to real historical elements I get no response or counter argument. Yes, the shows are romanticized, but that’s the principle of a scripted show.Generally these people writing these reviews have not even read the scripts of the shows, which are accessible in pdf with a little searching.

Shows are amazing but never forget it is christian oriented park mentioning in every show that christianism wins against other religions or invaders. They try to send political messages in their show.
WARNING: The "Puy du Fou" is absolutely NOT about history! The shows are Christian-oriented and NOT historically accurate at all. You can enjoy the show, but don't make the mistake of believing it's a historical park.
I've wanted to go for ages, then my French husband and our French friends admitted to me why they haven't gone yet, because it's basically sponsored by monarchist far-right groups, at least that's how I understood it, lol, and that they only present France as the victors and never as perpetrators, so go, have fun, have an experience, but take everything with a grain of salt

Ce livre est une aberration dans le domaine historique et une démonstration de ce qu'il ne faut pas faire quand on est sensé êtres diplômés dans les domaines de la science de l'histoire. Ce n'est pas une réelle et profonde analyse de la réalité historique du parc, mais bien plus une sorte de "contre-attaque" politique. D'ailleurs certaines personnes ayant participé à l'écriture du livre se sont eux-mêmes confrontés entre eux après coup, car certaines de ces personnes menaient un vrai combat politique, et non pas un travail historique, alors que d'autres voulaient resté plus neutres autour du livre et du parc. Le livre comporte d'ailleurs également des erreurs historiques de la part des "historien" et "historiennes" ( je met des guillemets car des professionnels de l'histoire qui se respectent ne plogent pas dans de la politique, mais restent neutre dans leur travail d'écriture et de thèse), ce qui est assez cocasse et ironique quand le livre se veut être une critique de l'appropriation politique de l'histoire par le parc.
Great performers vs terrible writing and Catholic gaslighting. I knew several people working the shows (hawking, pyrotechnics) and the general feeling was that they were very happy to have steady employment doing these high quality productions, yet also very embarrassed about the contents. Maybe it's less cringe when you're actually a Catholic even with the historical rewrite?
Quel mépris de l'histoire de France intimement liée à la religion catholique en général ! Et la "révolution" n'a pas apporté sa dose de gaslighting aussi? je pense que s'il s'agissait d'une autre Histoire liée à une autre religion que l'on à pas le droit de critiquer sur internet là on aurait droit à des louanges sans fin..
@@luluvillebois3516 Une religion que l'on a pas le droit de critiquer sur internet ? La religion des guirlandes et galettes sur la tête ? Parce que TOUTES les autres se font cracher dessus à longueur de journée !
Tu nous excuseras d’exister. C’est marrant avec les gauchistes comme vous ne pouvez jamais vous empêcher de pointer du doigt les gens qui ne sont pas comme vous. Vous savez personne ne vous oblige à y aller. Et pour info le catholicisme est en France depuis 2 millénaires et cette religion a fait ce qu’est ce pays aujourd’hui. Alors au lieu de décerner des brevets de validité vous pouvez zapper la vidéo et aller soigner votre névrose ailleurs.
The shows are amazing there. Definitely ! Yes ! BUT (just a reminder) you mut be aware that it's not true history but a very catholic/christian oriented version of France History, with a lot of very controversial elements (every single show intend to demonstrate that there is only one legit religion in France). Once you know that : just enjoy !
non pas chaque spectacle, le bal des oiseaux fantôme ne fait pas référence à la religion, ni le mime et l'étoile, ni le mystère de la Pérouse, ni les chevaliers de la table ronde, ni les orgues de feu, les amoureux de Verdun n'en font quasiment pas mention non plus, tout comme les mousquetaires de Richelieu. Au final on peut compter 4 grands spectacles et une attraction déambulatoir avec uns des axes principaux sur la religion, c'est moins de la majorité des activités du parc.
It's a nice attraction. I went a few times as a kid. However don't expect to learn anything real about France history. Nothing is historically accurate there.
Thank you so much for watching! The history is sure a bit inaccurate, but the magic of the art and performance is powerful. Hopefully, it inspires people to dive deeper into learning more accurate history!

The CEO of Puy du Fou is the main investor in extreme politics in France. There is nothing historical in this Park, they were even sanctioned for negationism. Here, we hate this park, not for what it is, but for the political ideal it finances.
the park is great but just so you know, the owner (Phillipe De Villier, former far right politician) is very criticized for "rewritting history". The show is great but it's like a Mel Gibson movie, it's a good show but it's historicaly boggus
one thing you have to know, this park was built by french far right politician (Philippe de Villiers), history transcribed is distanced from reality to serve far right soft power
Pffff encore un gauchiste de merde ....arrêtez avec votre propagande...de Villiers est un homme très bien qui dit au moins des vérités, il n est pas d extrême droite déjà, c est juste un des rares hommes qui aiment la France, point barre ....allez retrouver votre wokisme , moi j en veux pas en tout cas 🤮fuck le gauchisme
C est quoi encore cette propagande de gauchiste 😂mais allez vous faire foutre avec votre wokisme...m Devillers est un des des rares hommes politiques qui aiment la France basta
It shows you a very biased version of history, the one that the far right of France likes the most. From the point of view of the dominating class of that time, any time in history is pretty sweet ! Let's just never mention that 80% of the people of the era lived gruesome lives to render possible the lifestyles of the dominant group.
La vie n'était pas vraiment plus horrible, pour rappel par exemple au moyen-âge les famines n'étaient pas si nombreuses, ni les épidémies, il y a eu une augmentation des fréquences à la renaissance, puis les famines ont légèrement baisser en nombre à nouveau par la suite. Les personnes qui critiquent ce parc sont en majorité politisés eux aussi, avec eux-mêmes des biais de pensée sur l'histoire, je n'ai honnêtement pas vu beaucoup de vrais historiens et historiennes resté dans la neutralité pour juger de l'historicité du parc (et parfois quand c'est fait, c'est mal fait, comme par exemple critiquer la présence de casques à corne en disant que ça n'a pas existé, alors que certe leur présence en champ de bataille n'est pas approuvé , mais c'est une possibilité dont ont ne peut affirmer si cela est vrai ou faux, on ne peut,si on veut rester professionnel, que utiliser des termes comme "probablement" ou "possiblement", ce que beaucoup de ces historiens semblent oublier alors que c'est sensé être une des bases de la science de l'histoire).
@@tbfrstudio5416 Ce n'est pas mal d'être politisé. En fait tout le monde l'est, même ceux qui se disent "apolitiques" et "neutres". Ca n'existe pas la neutralité. Ce parc montre une certaine vision, qui est la sienne, fortement biaisée vers les affects qu'apprécient la droite et l'extrême droite, c'est tout, c'est un fait en fait. De Villiers est d'extrême droite, c'est son droit, mais j'ai le droit de pas être d'accord avec lui et en désaccord avec la représentation que ce parc fait de l'histoire et du passé.
History has never been as “pretty sweet” as it is right now. Don’t fret, We took this as an entertainment park, and not a “here’s what life was like” project. 😁
@@collinandmeredith it's not a feeling (such an american way to respond btw - in a funny way no worries). it's not a feeling, it's facts. the owner of the park is a well known far-right activist. also all historians agree that the parc is re-writing history to match a far-right vision of the french history.
which doesn't prevent them to make good shows i'm sure ! it's just weaponizing entertainmant for political goals and you must know it before going there (or before posting youtube video)
That makes sense, thank you for explaining! That is good to know before you go. They sure do make good shows-but hopefully people take the shows as a dramatization , and not as historical fact!
Know that when you go to the puy du fou and then put a online advert, you are giving money to anti avortion mouvement, anti lgbtq movement and far right political groups The Puy du fou is fascist Disneyland.
Thank you so much for watching and for the education! When we went and filmed, we were unaware of the controversy of the park, but have a much better understanding now.
Puy du fou have no link with french history is just for the show and nothing was carrectly. Is just a lot of stereotype on history use by far right politic to create a fake version of french history.
Vendée did lead the uprising against french revolution in the 1790s and then there was a very violent repression. Since centuries this area IS very catholic and conservative.
La gauche est en train de perdre le monopole du récit historique et moral, ça vous agace. L'Histoire de France est une des plus glorieuses. Si votre truc c'est l'autoflagellation, il y a les mémoriaux de la _Shoah_ et de l'esclavage, qui sont des parcs bien plus orientés et fantasmagoriques.
Thank you for watching! It’s an incredible entertainment experience , but yes, everything is with a grain of salt. Like a Mel Gibson movie! Entertaining, but inaccurate.
Thank you for watching, and for your concern about the park. We didn't find that in our experience, but can see from all the comments there are some very controversial aspects to the park.
The puy du fou is a terrible park. It has close ties with extremist religious associations and promotes a totally revisited history of France and Europe. Nothing is historically accurate. don't go there.
Thank you so much for watching! Given the controversial portrayal of history, we approached the entertainment park for what it is, entertainment. We completely understand and respect that perspective as well.

The strentgh of the park is the fact that they create new spectacles every few years or so, so you always have something new to discover
Somehow they continue to out-do themselves. It’s truly an art! Thank you for watching.
17:15 🤯Can you imagine it's about the same price as the Stratosphere Tower in Vegas????
The Needle in Vegas: "Monday - Thursday: $49 · Friday - Sunday: $59" (45€ to 55€).
I prefer going to Le Puy du Fou !!!!! It's an amazing and unique park. Bravo!!! 😇👏🏼
Thanks for watching! We couldn't agree more, we were excited by the price. Although we would like to see the stratosphere tower in Vegas someday too!
I live in France and I have wanted to visit the park since its creation. I hope one day I can go there
We hope you get to go too!! ❤️
@@collinandmeredith Thank you :)
N'attendez plus, franchissez le pas! :) C'est très abordable pourla qualité de ce parc, tant sur le prix des entrées que les gîtes du côté de Montaigu (par exemple) ; allez-y hors saison en septembre-octobre avant leur fermeture hivernale, c'est moins bondé et les shows sont rôdés ;) Prenez un pass 2 jours, sans pour autant loger sur place, et pour économiser préparez vos sandwichs, il y a plein de tables en extérieurs pour picniquer!
J'y suis allé avec ma famille, mes parents et ma soeur m'avaient fait la surprise pour mon anniversaire. C'était vraiment génial, je m'en souviendrai toute ma vie, j'étais comme un gosse devant chaque spectacle. Je crois qu'on a tous préféré les jeux du cirque, c'était vraiment immersif avec le public qui encourage les gladiateurs, on en a pris plein les yeux. On avait l'impression d'être dans le film Gladiator. Vous ne serez pas déçu, parce qu'ils mettent le paquet pour vous émerveiller, acteurs, cascadeurs, orchestres, animaux dressés, jeux de lumière, chorégraphie... Les restaurants sont très bons aussi, ils sont à thème et s'inspirent de plusieurs époques, on avait choisi une sorte de crêperie de style auberge médiévale pour le midi, un café style Belle Epoque années 30 pour le quatre heure, et un restaurant de style renaissance/17e siècle qui faisait du grillé au feu de bois le deuxième jour. Ce parc est un trésor national, faut le faire au moins une fois dans sa vie.
Vive la france
Some 110km up the road from us, we have been several times and will more. Amazing theme park.
That's so nice!! We're counting down the days until we can go back again!
You must stay 3 days for all and enjoy the park. My list of the shows :
1- Vikings
2- Le mime et l'étoile
3- Les mousquetaires
4- Rome Le signe du triomphe
5- le dernier panache
6- le secret de la lance
7- le bal des oiseaux fantomes
The best of the best = La CINESCENIE
the accommodation in the park is fantastic and the diner show too. 3 days here is perfect.
Thank you so much!! We were thinking of going back this year, so I'll save your recommendations. We heard there's a new one or one that recently received an award this spring that we wanted to check out! 😁
Great! For the CINESCENIE, I recommand you to book now, it could be sold out very soon. I hope you will enjoy it!
The new one is "Le mime et l'étoile" It's fantastic!

Vous n'avez pas fait beaucoup de spectacle. Je l'ai fait il y'a 2 ans, nous avons pu quasiment faire tout le parc en une journée, c'était un peu la course, il nous a manqué un spectacle.

Thanks!! We're hoping to get to go back this fall. The night shows are high on our list now!
Best thème Park in the world for décades
we see why!!
Wow. I was searching for theme parks in France and this came up- I had no idea. Questions for anyone who knows; Will someone who doesn't speak French be able to understand what they are seeing/experiencing? Can we see everything in one day?
Hi! We hope you enjoyed the video. 😁
For your first question-we know zero French, and we were able to understand (maybe not the nuances of the script, but it didn’t hinder our enjoyment). They also have English pamphlets at the entrance that give a synopsis. 👍
Sadly, you’re not able to see everything in one day. The park has too many shows. We packed our schedule and were only able to see the shows in the video, about half. If you can do two days, that would be ideal. 😁 Otherwise, you can find the schedule online and build out a lineup to maximize your day!
Enjoy! You’re going to love it.
Great video thanks!
Thanks so much for watching 😁❤️
At last some foreigners who don't care about Paris and who enjoy France, DEEPLY and FOR REAL.
@1:27 BTW Vikings were a thing in France too, I'm from Normandie, my ancestors (Normans) are their direct descendants. (Rollo 's story in "Vikings" tv show, first duc of Normandie in a way, you can visit his grave in Falaise town, where William the conqueror's castle stands still today) .
Because Paris is not part of real France ? 🙄
As far as I know, it’s in Paris the Revolution as began and if it’s weren’t for Parisians act of rebellion we would’ve still been in a puppet state Royal Authority like in England…
This anti paris bullshit again 🙄 even when its not about Paris you HAVE TO mention instead of just appreciating the content
reminding that the genetic mix of the normans is not so different than the genetic of the people of France, like the genetic mix of the Bretons is not so different, even the belgians and the dutch except the frisians. The base remains gallic.
@@carthkaras6449 And Latin. Roman Empire did a lot here too.
France has always being some kind of gens' pudding.
Despite that, Vikings' influence on the culture (except for Normandie) hasn't been as strong as in GB.
Franks didn't let that happen.
William the conqueror was called "the bastard" at first cause he was the son of a second wife. Polygamy wasn't allowed in France's kingdom. 9 generation after Rollon, it was still a thing in Normandie. + the longship (Drakkar) built mastering.
Franks didn't let that happen.
Now Africa and middle east is taking over. What our ancestors fought against for centuries, our modern leaders destroyed it in a few decades.
@@guiguijol there are no genetic impact after a few centuries if the foreign population don't exceed 13%. Also, not so much "Latin" genetic too... People tend to forget that north Italian and South French are also of gallic origin.

@@HPGot21oh you would love it!!! I wish we spoke French so we could appreciate it even more!
They also created a Puy du Fou in Spain 2 years ago also going to Germany and soon to China, and soon in China and maybe one day in the United States, of course with the history of each country.
That's incredible! The actors and actresses did such a great job in France, we can't wait to see the other ones.
@@collinandmeredith
Remark regarding what the French guy said at the beginning : Well Vikings do not originate from France, but they are part of our History too (well north and west mostly) - specially Normandy - dutchy of the north men called Normans, Viking that got lands and authorisation to stay under the crown - they learned french, and assimilate to French culture + their own. Like the Romans are not from France, they let a trace that made the History of France.
That is really well written. It seems the park takes elements / time periods of history that impacted the region, and then turn it into entertaining shows.
Thank you so much for watching!
Just up the road from us.. you need 2 Days to do all of the park! Well worth every penny you spend. Amazing place
Definitely agree! Next time I'd like to spend the night and spend two full days exploring!

Le Puy du fou est une grande fierté pour la Vendée et beaucoup de français, malheureusement la politisation de tout à travers les médias français (notamment d'extrême gauche) conduit à beaucoup de médisance sur ce parc, qui selon eux enjolivent l'histoire de France...on en revient toujours au même, une sorte de culture de la honte en France au lieu d'être fiers de notre richesse culturelle et historique. BTW, this park is awesome, if you come in France, forget Paris and visit Angers, Nantes, the Puy du Fou, The Futuroscope and the Dordogne Valley ;)
Thanks so much for your recommendations. We can't wait to go back to France - so much left to see!
Les gens qui médisent sur le Puy du Fou, soit ils n'y sont jamais allés, soit c'est parce qu'ils ont l'esprit tordu. Allez y avec votre propre personnalité et tout ira très bien.
Je suis de gauche et j'aime
@@TheFaruk2 On peut être de gauche et aimer l'histoire de son pays. De toutes façons, droite/gauche ça ne veut plus dire grand chose actuellement.
@@picardiebelleregion9508 je suis d'accord avec vous dans le fond, mais force est de constater la propension de personnes se caractérisant elles-mêmes de gauche (le camp du bien^^) flagellant leur culture et leur histoire...à croire que l'auto détestation est un critère pour faire partie du chapitre 😅
Au travail je n'ose même plus parler de mes weekends au puy du fou (prochaine visite le 5 octobre au passage !🔥🤩😍), des anecdotes de l'histoire de France que j'avais apprises à l'école, ou manifester mon admiration de notre patrimoine, tant à chaque coup un collègue bien pensant se sent obligé de me rappeler l'héritage colonialiste ou suprématiste de la royauté/chrétienté française...par contre bizarrement les mêmes collègues adulent et adoubent les autres cultures et leur patrimoine.
Ce constat est décevant, car on a la même nationalité et on vit côte à côte au quotidien, à croire que pour aller bien dans leur peau ils ont besoin de s'acharner sur quelque chose plutôt que d'apprécier leur environnement
Having been 2 times to LE Puy du Fou (I was living not far amny years ago, I can only concur: it is amazin, and also ever expanding. So you can go there every year and see something new. Also, the park itself is awesome. Just going from one show to the other in such nice a setting (instead of all-concrrete) make a difference.
Amnd last but not least: do plan to stay around for the night: the "cinéscénie" (the night show in front of the castle) is worth the trip on its own.
It is also the type of experience you can share with anyone. Although best enjoyed if you know French of have a decent audio guide to your language. Much would be missed otherwise
It was so helpful to have our friends there to translate! We have to go back for this night show!!
Angers c'est ma ville
We ❤️ angers!!! We made a whole video about our week in your incredible town! 😁
Really cool video! I've been there as a kid, I'd love to go again.
Just a little feedback about the sound mixing: at some moments the music is a bit too loud when you're speaking.
Thanks so much for the tip :) we've tried to improve on it so hopefully the newer videos are better! Thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much for watching! We had an incredible time there, and can only imagine the magic for a kid. Also, thanks for the quality tip! We’ve been slowly upgrading equipment. Hopefully in the future the video and audio is smoother 😁
J'ai visité ce parc deux fois. Content que vous ayez aimé !
We're already excited to go again!!
Wow! How did you decide which shows to see? The bird one, Nope just Nope!I loved seeing Max and 'meeting' his girlfriend. Max kinda threw me in the beginning, I didn't remember the thick accent. I am so glad you guys get to experience this type of thing. I don't think I would call it an amusement park though, unless there was another 'side' you didn't show. Hugs
Hahah the bird one was a little scary if you don't like birds! Max and the "french fries" (as we call them now lol) picked out the entire day. They've been every year so they knew which ones were the best to see based on that days schedule. We might have talked Max into using a thick French accent for the intro 😉

Puy du Fou in France and Europa Park in Germany... I recommend them to you, eyes closed.
In France, every 2 years, you've got a very welknown street medival Festival in Dinan for several days, in Brittany.
And in Carcassonne, South of France, they used the Castle for Robin Wood scenes with Kevin Costner.
There are every years Festivals and shows, fireworks, in and around the castle's grounds.
I have never been in Carcassonne as a french but I heard it is great.
thank you!! :) We love recommendations!

Hi Laura! Thank you so much for watching! We couldn’t agree more-it’s an entertainment park, and an incredible one at that. 😁

12:21 that's not the colosseum its an amphitheatre just like the colosseum, but its a French/Gaulish style roman one as France was in the roman empire and the amphitheatre built were like this one, the show isn't representing the Roman history in Italy but generic Roman provincial city in roman Gaul (France) roman empire was massive part of French history founding many cities like Paris, loved the video though
Question, do they give you anything to translate into English, I know a little french but would be good for my son
They don't, the only thing I can think of is going to the website ahead of time and reading about each show or printing off the descriptions of the show so you can explain the basics to your son. We don't speak any french, so our friends had to translate a lot of it for us, and it was fine. The acting and entertainment is so great that you'll get the basic idea just by watching!
They do have an audio translator available for individuals given at the entry at the park i think.
@@alexisbelfer7881 thank you! @kellynavarromontes7244
Une expérience unique, malgré de grands partis pris avec la vraie Histoire. Les "Vikings" ne portaient pas de casques à cornes, par exemple. C'est un cliché qui a la vie dure.
Collin thought one of the worst historical inaccuracy was the viking ships coming up from the water...considering it submarines weren't invented. I thought it made for a great show :)
Si par grand partis pris avec la vraie Histoire, on entend Révisionnisme à la sauce Action Française aussi, c'est pas faux, après l'ambiance est sympa mais bon il y aurait mieux à faire et faut bien prendre ça en compte.
Horned helmets have existed, but not for recorded cases of combat. However, this could potentially have been the case, we don't know, we can't affirm one nor the other, only offer a vision of things.
... pour faire de bon citoyens il faut faire rêver les enfants ! Les casques sont tellement plus beaux avec des cornes ! Si vous tenez vraiment à l'authenticité alors il faut rajouter beaucoup de boue et d'odeurs. Les hommes de cette époque étaient sales, édentés, et cruels. La "vraie Histoire" ne ferait pas rêver les foules. J'habite à Carcassonne qui n'est jamais que le rêve de pierre sorti de l'imagination de M. Viollet Le Duc. La cité n'était plus qu'une enceinte crénelée largement effondrée assortie de quelques tours en ruine. Je le remercie tous les jours d'avoir recréé cette splendeur que le monde entier vient admirer. C'est aussi cet architecte de génie qui a "inventé" la flèche de Notre Dame.
You should either have a gimble or shoot at 60 frames per second if you move the camera often. Otherwise it is jittery and hard to watch.
Thank you!!
3:05: « to complete maps that had been drafted by captain cook », not really, Captain cook didn’t draft maps but only drafted English Maps based on Spanish Maps drafted since the 16th century. The entire Cook’s expeditions were based on Spanish maps Cook managed to put hands on.
Something the English propaganda seems to forget, just like they seem to forget that their navigators had been formed in Spain and used Spanish invented tools for navigation.
ohh that's a hot topic! We are just now really getting into reading about English and Spanish expeditions in our free time! You seem pretty knowledgeable on the topic. Any book recommendations? Cook has been really interesting for us as we've traveled to a few places where he's highlighted as a great explorer, but want to learn more. Thanks for sharing the correction :)
Wonderful ! But you didn't go to the "Cinéscénie" ? It is the BEST SHOW of Le Puy du Fou ! By far ! Seriously ! You HAVE to go back !!!!
We have to go back!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. It would have been nice to have a word about the historic inacuracies in the shows. Some would even say it's mostly fairy tales with historical themes sprinkled on top. Did Mathilde say something about it ?
Thank you so much for watching! The inaccuracy was not mentioned, but given the nature of the amusement park, we thought it was understood the history would contain many inaccuracies for the sake of showmanship and entertainment. Hopefully nobody shows up expecting a textbook!
Hey I live like a 30 min ride from there
Let’s go together next time we are in town!
Must be good
This is a great place, for sure. But the locals keep saying they come back every year at least. I don't understand that. Once you've seen everything, there's no real reason to come back
Thank you for watching! Every year might be a lot. This was my second time, and the first was 5 years ago-that was long enough to forget some of the “wow” factor!
Omg max your accent is crrrrrrézi 🤣
His “southern drawl” is even better!
it's funny to see what foreign tourists think of this park. I live 10 minutes from Puy du Fou and the company I work for manufactures the structure of the Puy du Fou buildings, so I have unlimited access to the park. Puy du Fou is part of our lives since it keeps tourism going and gives lots of work to local businesses and the park for seasonal workers.
small precision. the PDF is a theme park. These are fictionalized shows that aren't really historically accurate. it is only the reflection of the vision of the creator. Therefore, it should not be considered as a historical reenactment park but rather a spectacle park.
Well said. It’s a theme park for entertainment-not a well cited / documented history account.

This theme park is really fantasic (and you missed the outdoor night show).
But, as you insisted a lot on it, be aware that the historical narrative presented is highly contested (and politically oriented)

And especially stop arguing in french in the comments of an english-speaking video/channel.
Thank you! We'll have to add the night show next time we visit. We were careful to only present historical facts in our video but we agree that narrative of the park is very politically oriented.
@@collinandmeredith Don't want to hype too much the night show, but it's my best memory from it ! However, I don't know if there are any sessions in English. (also there is multiple night shows)
Uh ? Captain Cook, an Englishman on a French ship?
"In France, Louis XVI demanded to know why his nation was not engaging in such voyages of exploration, and a hasty search was made for a French Captain Cook. The man chosen for the role was Jean-François de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse."
Hey! We agree with you 100% this show is about Pérouse, who as we mentioned, is following in the footsteps of Captain Cook! Could you imagine if Cook was on a French ship 🤣
Great park but a lot of controversies here about the historical accuracy of lots of attractions. Especially the '" Guerres de Vendée" chapter, explaining the genocide of thousands of people from this area... that didn't happen (for some others).
How about the Vikings, straight outta Lord of the Rings 🤣
Le génocide en Vendée a vraiment existé. Comme les "mariages vendéens".

Something that has to be mentionned, is that this park calls itself "historical theme park", but has a very (and well known and claimed) alt right bias. Don't expect to truly learn something about french history, everything that is presented is heavily distorted. Yet, the shows are amazing. But it is always better to know it before to go.
Thank you so much for watching and for the education! It is an incredible park for entertainment!

There are no Victorian style houses in the park. It is a village in one of the many French architectural styles that is reconstituted (France has almost as many as regions). This one is more typical of the "Belle Epoque" (1900). It’s the same for Captain Cook, who never set foot on the boat you’re talking about. Anglo-Saxons, you must stop this arrogance and think that everything comes from you. (second degree) 😉♥
Thank you for watching! And for correcting our architecture. We never said captain cook was on this boat, but we do talk pretty fast so that part may have been missed. 😉
@@collinandmeredith 👍😉❤️
Just a quick reminder about Le Puy du Fou... it's a theater show about French Novel National History (aka the way France looked upon his history with glasses from the 19th century historians) always remind, it's a show which pretends to be historically accurate while it's not. It's like, idk, PPl from Pennsylvania reincarnating History with King Arthur as a Pilgrim Father... sounds fun but... meh, lol.
Good reminder! Thanks for sharing!
Ce n'est pas un roman national, le roman national (donc français, républicain), a longtemps véhiculer énormément de fausses informations sur le moyen âge, la renaissance, les temps modernes, etc... Et surtout c'est un roman qui se veut républicain et non pas royaliste, le roman national a notamment réutiliser l'image de Jeanne d'Arc pour des choses qui n'ont historiquement aucun lien, alors qu'elle est représentante de la royauté et du catholicisme français de son époque et de son contexte historique de guerre de territoire entre valois et plantagenets.
Have you been paid by puy du fou for the vidéo with extravagantes reactions and this french accent cinéma of max and Justine?
Haha no we didn't get paid to make this. We were just having fun with our friends ❤️
According to french historians, most of the "historical" part there are at most exagerated, twisted, when not completly false.
So please take this as what it is, an amusement park
L'Histoire "officielle" et ripouxblik'haine ? Je pourrais vous en apprendre sur les mensonges et la propagande que subissent les français depuis 260 ans !
agreed! Thanks for watching!!
Generally these people writing these reviews have not even read the scripts of the shows, which are accessible in pdf with a little searching. Each time I demonstrate that each show is placed in a historical context with references to real historical elements I get no response or counter argument. Yes, the shows are romanticized, but that’s the principle of a scripted show.Generally these people writing these reviews have not even read the scripts of the shows, which are accessible in pdf with a little searching.

@@collinandmeredith who said wounderful..
Shows are amazing but never forget it is christian oriented park mentioning in every show that christianism wins against other religions or invaders. They try to send political messages in their show.
Thank you so much for watching! We agree, those themes are apparent …but the shows are so intense
WARNING: The "Puy du Fou" is absolutely NOT about history! The shows are Christian-oriented and NOT historically accurate at all. You can enjoy the show, but don't make the mistake of believing it's a historical park.
Thank you for watching our video! Hopefully people can enjoy the shows for what they are, and have the thoughtfulness to learn the actual history

You should hear his “southern” accent 😂 it’s legendary
You need a camera stabilizer. Your video gave me a little vertigo. I have to stop watching.
Thanks for the feedback! We sadly had our stabilizer turned off this day :( We're still pretty new at filming!
It is a far-right theme park. It is a far-right storytelling of France theme park
Thank you so much for watching! We are learning about the controversy about this park. The shows are pretty amazing though
The show is amazing. Period. Speaking of fascism about it is so narrow minded and stupid, by the way anachronic
@@fredenpark4385 What about the nazi shows? Were they great too?

Uh.. second sentence and a Godwin point ..damn you seem to be a holy champ!
I've wanted to go for ages, then my French husband and our French friends admitted to me why they haven't gone yet, because it's basically sponsored by monarchist far-right groups, at least that's how I understood it, lol, and that they only present France as the victors and never as perpetrators, so go, have fun, have an experience, but take everything with a grain of salt
Like every country around the world. But for some people, only french people can’t be proud about their history.
@@-alim-3585 When u can be proud of Blaise Pascal or Louise Michel why do u want to to be proud of some inbred family.
Learn a bit of history instead of being easily reactionary.
Thank you for watching! It’s an incredible entertainment experience , but yes, everything is with a grain of salt. Like a Mel Gibson movie! Entertaining, but inaccurate.
Read " le puy du faux " and u will no longer want to go there
After all the comments we've gotten about this park I am interested in reading this. Thank you for sharing and watching our video!
Ce livre est une aberration dans le domaine historique et une démonstration de ce qu'il ne faut pas faire quand on est sensé êtres diplômés dans les domaines de la science de l'histoire. Ce n'est pas une réelle et profonde analyse de la réalité historique du parc, mais bien plus une sorte de "contre-attaque" politique.
D'ailleurs certaines personnes ayant participé à l'écriture du livre se sont eux-mêmes confrontés entre eux après coup, car certaines de ces personnes menaient un vrai combat politique, et non pas un travail historique, alors que d'autres voulaient resté plus neutres autour du livre et du parc.
Le livre comporte d'ailleurs également des erreurs historiques de la part des "historien" et "historiennes" ( je met des guillemets car des professionnels de l'histoire qui se respectent ne plogent pas dans de la politique, mais restent neutre dans leur travail d'écriture et de thèse), ce qui est assez cocasse et ironique quand le livre se veut être une critique de l'appropriation politique de l'histoire par le parc.
ce livre est inutile , on vas dans un parc pour s'amuser avant tout et le puys du you y arrive parfaitement
Great performers vs terrible writing and Catholic gaslighting. I knew several people working the shows (hawking, pyrotechnics) and the general feeling was that they were very happy to have steady employment doing these high quality productions, yet also very embarrassed about the contents. Maybe it's less cringe when you're actually a Catholic even with the historical rewrite?
Quel mépris de l'histoire de France intimement liée à la religion catholique en général ! Et la "révolution" n'a pas apporté sa dose de gaslighting aussi? je pense que s'il s'agissait d'une autre Histoire liée à une autre religion que l'on à pas le droit de critiquer sur internet là on aurait droit à des louanges sans fin..
@@luluvillebois3516 Une religion que l'on a pas le droit de critiquer sur internet ? La religion des guirlandes et galettes sur la tête ? Parce que TOUTES les autres se font cracher dessus à longueur de journée !
Well i’m not religious but we can’t deny the religious past of France.
It's about french history, how are you supposed to do it without catholicism?
Tu nous excuseras d’exister. C’est marrant avec les gauchistes comme vous ne pouvez jamais vous empêcher de pointer du doigt les gens qui ne sont pas comme vous. Vous savez personne ne vous oblige à y aller. Et pour info le catholicisme est en France depuis 2 millénaires et cette religion a fait ce qu’est ce pays aujourd’hui. Alors au lieu de décerner des brevets de validité vous pouvez zapper la vidéo et aller soigner votre névrose ailleurs.
The shows are amazing there. Definitely ! Yes ! BUT (just a reminder) you mut be aware that it's not true history but a very catholic/christian oriented version of France History, with a lot of very controversial elements (every single show intend to demonstrate that there is only one legit religion in France). Once you know that : just enjoy !
Thanks for watching and sharing!! I agree, it's important to know that going into the park!
non pas chaque spectacle, le bal des oiseaux fantôme ne fait pas référence à la religion, ni le mime et l'étoile, ni le mystère de la Pérouse, ni les chevaliers de la table ronde, ni les orgues de feu, les amoureux de Verdun n'en font quasiment pas mention non plus, tout comme les mousquetaires de Richelieu. Au final on peut compter 4 grands spectacles et une attraction déambulatoir avec uns des axes principaux sur la religion, c'est moins de la majorité des activités du parc.
Just so you know : its also, a far right /royalist "attraction" that "revisits" history in the most fallacious way.
I wouldn't put a foot in it
Thank you so much for watching! We approached it like a movie: entertaining but not too educational.
C'est dommage car le parc fait plus de 2 millons d'entrées chaque années, vous ratez quelques choses.
@@tbfrstudio5416 non je crois que je rate rien, j'aime bien ne pas rencontrer de faf, surtout 2 millions de faf... non merci.
It's a nice attraction. I went a few times as a kid. However don't expect to learn anything real about France history. Nothing is historically accurate there.
Thank you so much for watching! The history is sure a bit inaccurate, but the magic of the art and performance is powerful. Hopefully, it inspires people to dive deeper into learning more accurate history!

Average leftist comment, "if it doesn't teach self-hatred, then you shouldn't enjoy it".
@@MC_Jean_RacletteSo for you potraying the vandean repression as a genocide is not teaching self-hatred ?
Anyway what is important is to portray history with accuracy without twisting it with our point of view. From what I heard the Puy du fou don't do that.

The CEO of Puy du Fou is the main investor in extreme politics in France.
There is nothing historical in this Park, they were even sanctioned for negationism.
Here, we hate this park, not for what it is, but for the political ideal it finances.
Thank you for watching our video. We were unaware of the controversy over the origin of the park, we were just there for entertainment
@@collinandmeredithThere is no controversy, he is just a frustrated leftist
the park is great but just so you know, the owner (Phillipe De Villier, former far right politician) is very criticized for "rewritting history". The show is great but it's like a Mel Gibson movie, it's a good show but it's historicaly boggus
That's a great comparison, we thought so too! Lots of showmanship, which makes for a great day of entertainment.
C'est sur que c'est pas Boyard et Panot qui ont créés le parc...😅😅😅
@@ludovic7439on est d’accord
one thing you have to know, this park was built by french far right politician (Philippe de Villiers), history transcribed is distanced from reality to serve far right soft power
Pffff encore un gauchiste de merde ....arrêtez avec votre propagande...de Villiers est un homme très bien qui dit au moins des vérités, il n est pas d extrême droite déjà, c est juste un des rares hommes qui aiment la France, point barre ....allez retrouver votre wokisme , moi j en veux pas en tout cas 🤮fuck le gauchisme
C est quoi encore cette propagande de gauchiste 😂mais allez vous faire foutre avec votre wokisme...m Devillers est un des des rares hommes politiques qui aiment la France basta
Thanks for sharing! Its a good thing to keep in mind when visiting!
Le Pen helped fund this park. If it was in Germany it would be the 1930s...
Thank you for watching!
It shows you a very biased version of history, the one that the far right of France likes the most. From the point of view of the dominating class of that time, any time in history is pretty sweet ! Let's just never mention that 80% of the people of the era lived gruesome lives to render possible the lifestyles of the dominant group.
La vie n'était pas vraiment plus horrible, pour rappel par exemple au moyen-âge les famines n'étaient pas si nombreuses, ni les épidémies, il y a eu une augmentation des fréquences à la renaissance, puis les famines ont légèrement baisser en nombre à nouveau par la suite.
Les personnes qui critiquent ce parc sont en majorité politisés eux aussi, avec eux-mêmes des biais de pensée sur l'histoire, je n'ai honnêtement pas vu beaucoup de vrais historiens et historiennes resté dans la neutralité pour juger de l'historicité du parc (et parfois quand c'est fait, c'est mal fait, comme par exemple critiquer la présence de casques à corne en disant que ça n'a pas existé, alors que certe leur présence en champ de bataille n'est pas approuvé , mais c'est une possibilité dont ont ne peut affirmer si cela est vrai ou faux, on ne peut,si on veut rester professionnel, que utiliser des termes comme "probablement" ou "possiblement", ce que beaucoup de ces historiens semblent oublier alors que c'est sensé être une des bases de la science de l'histoire).
@@tbfrstudio5416 Ce n'est pas mal d'être politisé. En fait tout le monde l'est, même ceux qui se disent "apolitiques" et "neutres". Ca n'existe pas la neutralité. Ce parc montre une certaine vision, qui est la sienne, fortement biaisée vers les affects qu'apprécient la droite et l'extrême droite, c'est tout, c'est un fait en fait. De Villiers est d'extrême droite, c'est son droit, mais j'ai le droit de pas être d'accord avec lui et en désaccord avec la représentation que ce parc fait de l'histoire et du passé.
History has never been as “pretty sweet” as it is right now. Don’t fret, We took this as an entertainment park, and not a “here’s what life was like” project. 😁
oh yay ! dysney-land for french fascists !
Thank you so much for watching! We are sorry you feel this way about the park
@@collinandmeredith it's not a feeling (such an american way to respond btw - in a funny way no worries). it's not a feeling, it's facts. the owner of the park is a well known far-right activist. also all historians agree that the parc is re-writing history to match a far-right vision of the french history.
which doesn't prevent them to make good shows i'm sure ! it's just weaponizing entertainmant for political goals and you must know it before going there (or before posting youtube video)
That makes sense, thank you for explaining! That is good to know before you go. They sure do make good shows-but hopefully people take the shows as a dramatization , and not as historical fact!

Know that when you go to the puy du fou and then put a online advert, you are giving money to anti avortion mouvement, anti lgbtq movement and far right political groups
The Puy du fou is fascist Disneyland.
Anti abortion movements*
Thank you so much for watching and for the education! When we went and filmed, we were unaware of the controversy of the park, but have a much better understanding now.
Puy du fou have no link with french history is just for the show and nothing was carrectly. Is just a lot of stereotype on history use by far right politic to create a fake version of french history.
Thank you so much for watching! It’s like a “history movie”-entertainment without much historical merit.
Commentaire d’un bon gauchiste.
@@francinevincent4785 commentaire de quelqu'un qui a fait des études d'histoire et qui emmerde ce qui en font une récupération idéologique
The owner of this stuff is a god-botherer very conservative. So don't be surprised that the historical point of view is very oriented.
Vendée did lead the uprising against french revolution in the 1790s and then there was a very violent repression. Since centuries this area IS very catholic and conservative.

La gauche est en train de perdre le monopole du récit historique et moral, ça vous agace. L'Histoire de France est une des plus glorieuses. Si votre truc c'est l'autoflagellation, il y a les mémoriaux de la _Shoah_ et de l'esclavage, qui sont des parcs bien plus orientés et fantasmagoriques.

The puy du fou is a terrible park.
It has close ties with extremist religious associations and promotes a totally revisited history of France and Europe. Nothing is historically accurate.
don't go there.
