Le Puy du Fou

For part of Simon's XXth birthday celebrations we all went to le Puy du Fou park, including Matt, Cynthia & Sacha too. The weather was perfect and we got to the front of the queue for every show with Mamie Tine in her wheelchair! So, a bumper bundle selection of two of the attractions.

Firstly, Le Bal des Oiseaux Fantômes...
...with its amazingly trained bird display...

...all set to a medieval theme.

At one stage an eagle plummets from the hot air balloon...

...only too happy for a snack treat from its trainer.

The second show on displey here: Le Signe du Triomphe...
...a very real recreation of a Roman arena...
...beginning with a procession...


...before gladiators vs Christians fighting begins. 



Next, the chariot race in all its glory

The finale...

...crowds leaving the arena...
...some for a cheeky ice cream in the shade of the trees!
