Theme Parks in the Vendée
Theme
Parks come in all shapes and sizes and the Vendée is no exception.
Whilst there is nothing on the lines of Alton Towers or Longleat the
Vendée does have some of the finest Theme Parks of their kind in France.
The largest and best known Theme Park in the Vendée is without doubt the Puy-du-Fou. The Park offers two distinctly different experiences with the Grand Parc du Puy du Fou operating during daytime hours and the spectacular Son et lumière of the Cinescenie
which operates after dark. Both are unique and are world renown. The
daytime experience requires an early start if you intend to see all of
the attractions and such is the popularity of the Cinescenie that
booking well in advance is advised.
Theme Parks can also be based on the activities they provide, below are
lists of the various types of theme with those attractions that can be
found in the Vendee.
