About Puy du Fou
Puy du Fou was created in 1978 as a totally one-of-a-kind artistic concept. Puy du Fou, twice elected "Best Theme Park in the World" in March 2012 in Los Angeles (Thea Classic Award) then in November 2014 in Orlando (Applause Award), draws from the collective imagination and stages legendary worlds in spectacular shows filled with universal emotion. Puy du Fou has invented a unique artis-tic model in the world of leisure, a new type of experience, where visitors discover spectacular world-class shows and are immersed in ultra-realistic realms infused with history and legend. Puy du Fou is a group mainly comprised of an association created under the French 1901 Act and an SAS (simplified joint-stock company) at the head of several subsidiaries. In France, the association organises the Cinéscénie show with 4,300 volunteers and owns the SAS which manages the Grand Parc (63 daytime/night-time shows, 4 historic villages, 22 restaurants and 6 themed hotels) and employs 2,500 people. The two entities secure their future by financing the Puy du Fou Academy (an “Arts & Studies” school) and the Junior Academy (an artistic training centre) which train over 700 young people every year in performing arts and techniques. With Puy du Fou International, the park disseminates its expertise and know-how around the world; it has just created a park in Spain, based on the Puy du Fou model, and designing shows on other continents. After Spain, Puy du Fou is now establishing itself in China with its immersive show "Saga" and is accelerating its research to create a park based on the Puy du Fou model in the years to come. Since its creation, Puy du Fou has enjoyed constant growth thanks to its artistic audacity and ongoing investment. www.puydufou.com
