Le Puy du Fou - Planning ahead for 2012

Le Puy du Fou in Vendée,  Pays de la Loire’s famed historic theme park has announced a new attraction at the park for 2012 and has a number of other projects in the pipeline.

Once again in 2011, despite the economic downturn, Le Puy du Fou proved popular with visitors and beat its previous attendance record. During the 2011 season, Le Puy du Fou attracted nearly 1,500,000 visitors through its gates, or should that be its portcullis? Le Signe du Triomphe (The Sign of the Triumph), 2011’s new attraction within the park, filled the arena and Le Puy du Fou also welcomed its 10 millionth spectator to its atmospheric night-time spectacular La Cinéscénie.

Le Puy du Fou has yet more planned for 2012 with the creation of Le Monde Imaginaire de La Fontaine (The Imaginary World of La Fontaine) which will immerse visitors in a fun and interactive adventure in the fantastic world of the new theme’s protagonist, Jean de La Fontaine, based on the 17th century. The park’s new attraction is designed for the whole family to enjoy but should particularly appeal to children.

Christmas Opening and new Orangerie restaurant

For the sixth year, the park will once again re-open during the Festive season. Winter opening starts on 26th November right through until 19th December.  This year's staging of Le Mystère de Noël (the Christmas Mystery) comes with brand new choreography. Also, during the upcoming season visitors will have the opportunity to sample the new L'Orangerie restaurant within Le Puy du Fou. Apart from enjoying the food on offer, diners will also be entertained with the musical Gloria.
