The Competition!
The Children’s Bookshow, The Independent and Puy du Fou, France
offer you the chance to...
WIN A TRIP TO THE MAGICAL WORLD OF PUY DU FOU, FRANCE
where history comes to life – and how!
Escape to the Puy du Fou® Park for an unforgettable trip with family or friends!
Puy du Fou Park is a whirlwind of extraordinary shows and a real breath of fresh air far from everyday hustle and bustle. Visitors embark on journeys through time to enjoy lavish historical enactments: in one, a Viking longboat sails downriver to raid a village; in another, a jousting tournament turns into the storming of a medieval keep.
Make the most of an exceptional entertainment programme during the day, breath-taking shows at night, as well as 25 restaurants, 3 themed hotels and 50 hectares of pure green bliss. Days at Puy du Fou are adventure and action-packed.
