Puy du Fou hasn't got a single rollercoaster but it's probably the best day out my family has ever had
For many, a trip to a theme park is a special occasion that can be quite expensive unless you're armed with a stash of vouchers from cereal boxes. The experience usually involves long queues, roller coasters, deep-fried foods, a gift shop and a lengthy drive home.
What makes it unique is that instead of nausea-inducing thrill rides, Puy du Fou consists of a variety of shows performed in large custom-built theatre settings. Some are outdoors, some in traditional theatres, and others are interactive walkthroughs where you'll come face-to-face with performers. Like many, I had some doubts about visiting a French theme park that exclusively offers shows, all unsurprisingly in French. Sure, I managed to perfect my 'une croissant s'il vous plait mate' during my fortnight in Vendee, but a series of shows might be pushing it.
The performances are, in a word, spectacular. We managed to catch nine shows, many of which left me awestruck.
