Puy du Fou

Last night we went to the Cinescenie event of the Puy du Fou, which is a historical theme park in Les Epesses in the heart of the Vendée region of Western France. The main show takes place in the evening on a huge outdoor stage behind the ruined castle. It tells the story of the 700 years of history in the area. The Cinescene boasts the largest stage in the world, thousands of actors, hundreds of horses and about 400 fireworks per performace. All of the dialog is in French, so I think I may have missed some things, but I got the general idea. All of the actors and actresses (even the children) come from the local villages and are volunteers. I didn't get any pictures of it, but here are some that I found on the internets:





It was fantastic. We didn't get home until 3 am. More info here.
