Your camping holiday in the Vendée won’t just mean endless afternoons of fun in the Atlantic Ocean waves, it’s also the ideal opportunity to discover the fabulous universe of the Puy du Fou! Created by Philippe de Villiers, each year the park attracts thousands of visitors who notably come to be dazzled by the famous Cinéscénie, the greatest night-time show in the world!
And when you return to the campsite, plenty of new activities await you: feet in the water for some, the great outdoors for others. Pétanque, aquagym, mini-golf or off to the beach, whatever you fancy you can be certain that it will be within easy reach when camping with Sandaya! Or maybe you’re simply dreaming of chilling out and lazing after a well-filled day? Relax on the private terrace of your cottage or chalet, or head off to the solarium terrace in the bathing area to top up your suntan. That’s what a 4 and 5 star holiday is all about!
Educational and fun, historical and amazing, the larger than life shows at the Puy du Fou are certain to be one of the high points of your visit! Come with the family and watch as the fearsome Vikings spring from their longships to attack the Fort de l’An Mil, follow the epic tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table or meet the brave soldiers of Verdun. The history of France will soon hold no more secrets for you!
And once back at the campsite, the kids will be eager to rush off and tell their new holiday friends all about their unbelievable day at the Puy du Fou!
Who said that the Puy du Fou is exclusively reserved for children? Certainly not us! With its villages that take you on a journey down the ages and its stunning shows each more grandiose than the last, the Puy du Fou never fails to quench the thirst for adventure of everyone and every age.
The pinnacle of your romantic visit together: the Cinéscénie, a true voyage through time on the largest stage in the world! For 90 minutes, the dancers, actors, horses and riders recount the incredible tale of the Maupillier family, set against the most fairytale of décors. As 3D projections and special effects erase the boundary between reality and fiction, prepare to be completely blown away!
As night falls, the park lake becomes an enchanted wonderland: it’s the turn of the Noces de Feu to bewitch you!
In search of a little haven of peace and quiet? Head deep into the Vallée Fleurie sheltered by its noble centuries-old oaks!
