A Story About the Puy Du Fou | #1 Theme Park

A story about a top attraction in France, the Puy du Fou. Crowned the Best Theme Park in the World, and only an hour from the major airport at Nantes, this theme park is a must do adventure on your next or first France trip.
This story introduces new, amazing French characters: Maxence, Mathilde, and Justine. Some of the most kind people we have ever met, who ensured our Puy du Fou journey was a smashing success.
Join us for French accents and a whole lot of “wow” factor! This travel adventure left a lasting impression on us, as we hope it does the same for you.
Vlog # 5 | Filmed Sept. 2023 | France
📸 Keep up with our adventures on Instagram! @collinandmeredith
Who are Collin and Meredith?
In August of 2023 we left our corporate jobs to find out what it is like to live around the world. The fall of 2023 was spent exploring Europe, visiting friends, and learning our “travel style”. These are those stories :).
Currently, we are living in South America for the next six months traveling at a much slower pace & LOVING it.
Follow our journey as we learn from different cultures, make friends, and attempt to put the puzzle pieces of our world together.
The goals of our trip/experiment:
1) Experience life on all 7 continents.
2) Find (and eat) the best Cinnamon Rolls on the planet.
3) Take as many slow and deep breaths as possible in beautiful places.
Thanks for watching

Having been 2 times to LE Puy du Fou (I was living not far amny years ago, I can only concur: it is amazin, and also ever expanding. So you can go there every year and see something new. Also, the park itself is awesome. Just going from one show to the other in such nice a setting (instead of all-concrrete) make a difference. Amnd last but not least: do plan to stay around for the night: the "cinéscénie" (the night show in front of the castle) is worth the trip on its own. It is also the type of experience you can share with anyone. Although best enjoyed if you know French of have a decent audio guide to your language. Much would be missed otherwise

William the conqueror was called "the bastard" at first cause he was the son of a second wife. Polygamy wasn't allowed in France's kingdom. 9 generation after Rollon, it was still a thing in Normandie. + the longship (Drakkar) built mastering. Franks didn't let that happen.

Ce n'est pas un roman national, le roman national (donc français, républicain), a longtemps véhiculer énormément de fausses informations sur le moyen âge, la renaissance, les temps modernes, etc... Et surtout c'est un roman qui se veut républicain et non pas royaliste, le roman national a notamment réutiliser l'image de Jeanne d'Arc pour des choses qui n'ont historiquement aucun lien, alors qu'elle est représentante de la royauté et du catholicisme français de son époque et de son contexte historique de guerre de territoire entre valois et plantagenets.

[@niconemo3929]

The shows are amazing there. Definitely ! Yes ! BUT (just a reminder) you mut be aware that it's not true history but a very catholic/christian oriented version of France History, with a lot of very controversial elements (every single show intend to demonstrate that there is only one legit religion in France).

D'ailleurs certaines personnes ayant participé à l'écriture du livre se sont eux-mêmes confrontés entre eux après coup, car certaines de ces personnes menaient un vrai combat politique, et non pas un travail historique, alors que d'autres voulaient resté plus neutres autour du livre et du parc. Le livre comporte d'ailleurs également des erreurs historiques de la part des "historien" et "historiennes" ( je met des guillemets car des professionnels de l'histoire qui se respectent ne plogent pas dans de la politique, mais restent neutre dans leur travail d'écriture et de thèse), ce qui est assez cocasse et ironique quand le livre se veut être une critique de l'appropriation politique de l'histoire par le parc.

Thank you for watching!

[@aeolia80]

I've wanted to go for ages, then my French husband and our French friends admitted to me why they haven't gone yet, because it's basically sponsored by monarchist far-right groups, at least that's how I understood it, lol, and that they only present France as the victors and never as perpetrators, so go, have fun, have an experience, but take everything with a grain of salt

[@-alim-3585]

Like every country around the world. But for some people, only french people can’t be proud about their history.

​@@-alim-3585 When u can be proud of Blaise Pascal or Louise Michel why do u want to to be proud of some inbred family. Learn a bit of history instead of being easily reactionary.

Puy du fou have no link with french history is just for the show and nothing was carrectly. Is just a lot of stereotype on history use by far right politic to create a fake version of french history.

[@collinandmeredith]

Thank you so much for watching! It’s like a “history movie”-entertainment without much historical merit.

Just so you know : its also, a far right /royalist "attraction" that "revisits" history in the most fallacious way. I wouldn't put a foot in it

[@chinchenping]

the park is great but just so you know, the owner (Phillipe De Villier, former far right politician) is very criticized for "rewritting history". The show is great but it's like a Mel Gibson movie, it's a good show but it's historicaly boggus

[@collinandmeredith]

That's a great comparison, we thought so too! Lots of showmanship, which makes for a great day of entertainment.

[@coffic]

Great performers vs terrible writing and Catholic gaslighting. I knew several people working the shows (hawking, pyrotechnics) and the general feeling was that they were very happy to have steady employment doing these high quality productions, yet also very embarrassed about the contents. Maybe it's less cringe when you're actually a Catholic even with the historical rewrite?

[@luluvillebois3516]

Quel mépris de l'histoire de France intimement liée à la religion catholique en général ! Et la "révolution" n'a pas apporté sa dose de gaslighting aussi? je pense que s'il s'agissait d'une autre Histoire liée à une autre religion que l'on à pas le droit de critiquer sur internet là on aurait droit à des louanges sans fin..

It's about french history, how are you supposed to do it without catholicism?

[@paulbourguignon3632]

Tu nous excuseras d’exister. C’est marrant avec les gauchistes comme vous ne pouvez jamais vous empêcher de pointer du doigt les gens qui ne sont pas comme vous. Vous savez personne ne vous oblige à y aller. Et pour info le catholicisme est en France depuis 2 millénaires et cette religion a fait ce qu’est ce pays aujourd’hui. Alors au lieu de décerner des brevets de validité vous pouvez zapper la vidéo et aller soigner votre névrose ailleurs.

[@Malkos31]

one thing you have to know, this park was built by french far right politician (Philippe de Villiers), history transcribed is distanced from reality to serve far right soft power

[@sandrinecozic7214]

Pffff encore un gauchiste de merde ....arrêtez avec votre propagande...de Villiers est un homme très bien qui dit au moins des vérités, il n est pas d extrême droite déjà, c est juste un des rares hommes qui aiment la France, point barre ....allez retrouver votre wokisme , moi j en veux pas en tout cas 🤮fuck le gauchisme

[@collinandmeredith]

Thanks for sharing! Its a good thing to keep in mind when visiting!

[@jbragg33]

It shows you a very biased version of history, the one that the far right of France likes the most. From the point of view of the dominating class of that time, any time in history is pretty sweet ! Let's just never mention that 80% of the people of the era lived gruesome lives to render possible the lifestyles of the dominant group.

[@tbfrstudio5416]

La vie n'était pas vraiment plus horrible, pour rappel par exemple au moyen-âge les famines n'étaient pas si nombreuses, ni les épidémies, il y a eu une augmentation des fréquences à la renaissance, puis les famines ont légèrement baisser en nombre à nouveau par la suite. Les personnes qui critiquent ce parc sont en majorité politisés eux aussi, avec eux-mêmes des biais de pensée sur l'histoire, je n'ai honnêtement pas vu beaucoup de vrais historiens et historiennes resté dans la neutralité pour juger de l'historicité du parc (et parfois quand c'est fait, c'est mal fait, comme par exemple critiquer la présence de casques à corne en disant que ça n'a pas existé, alors que certe leur présence en champ de bataille n'est pas approuvé , mais c'est une possibilité dont ont ne peut affirmer si cela est vrai ou faux, on ne peut,si on veut rester professionnel, que utiliser des termes comme "probablement" ou "possiblement", ce que beaucoup de ces historiens semblent oublier alors que c'est sensé être une des bases de la science de l'histoire).

[@jbragg33]

@@tbfrstudio5416 Ce n'est pas mal d'être politisé. En fait tout le monde l'est, même ceux qui se disent "apolitiques" et "neutres". Ca n'existe pas la neutralité. Ce parc montre une certaine vision, qui est la sienne, fortement biaisée vers les affects qu'apprécient la droite et l'extrême droite, c'est tout, c'est un fait en fait. De Villiers est d'extrême droite, c'est son droit, mais j'ai le droit de pas être d'accord avec lui et en désaccord avec la représentation que ce parc fait de l'histoire et du passé.

[@collinandmeredith]

History has never been as “pretty sweet” as it is right now. Don’t fret, We took this as an entertainment park, and not a “here’s what life was like” project. 😁

[@yannrousseau5437]

The owner of this stuff is a god-botherer very conservative. So don't be surprised that the historical point of view is very oriented.

[@jfdevois3999]

Vendée did lead the uprising against french revolution in the 1790s and then there was a very violent repression. Since centuries this area IS very catholic and conservative.

La gauche est en train de perdre le monopole du récit historique et moral, ça vous agace. L'Histoire de France est une des plus glorieuses. Si votre truc c'est l'autoflagellation, il y a les mémoriaux de la _Shoah_ et de l'esclavage, qui sont des parcs bien plus orientés et fantasmagoriques.
