Puy du Fou is a theme park founded in 1989. A day here is built around its main shows and four reconstructed period villages, and because the site covers a large area, a shuttle called La Colporteuse stops near the villages and brings you closer to the main shows. Nine main shows headline the programme; a Pass Emotion, which has to be booked, guarantees access to the Emotion area until 10 minutes before each of them starts. Visitors with a valid CMI disability card can collect a Pass Accessibilité at the entrances for dedicated access at the main shows, though it does not guarantee a seat at a chosen performance, and under this scheme minors are not separated from an adult. Strollers can be hired for a daily fee near the entrances, just after the ticket check, but only subject to availability, which is why booking one by phone in advance is advised.

Why kids will love it

The shuttle that stops by the period villages and the main shows takes a good share of the walking out of a large site, which matters when small legs have to last from the first show to the last.
