THE PUY OF THE FOOLS

This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the village médiéval with its crazy shows. We avoided spectacles with loud noises and those without animals. The little train is super practical for visiting. We went to the village XVIII with its stable: rabbits, donkeys, pigs… We also saw the bourg 1900, the show "Le bal des oiseaux fantômes", and the "La légende de Martin"

Highlights: We had a blast! "Le bal des oiseaux fantômes" was hallucinant. The spectacle of the birds is magnificent. The little one loved the animals in the village XVIII. The pass émotion gives reductions and VIP places. The restaurants were very good. "The best park in the world to do and redo with the family." ✨
