We are a British family and stayed for 3 days / 2 nights in the May half term. We travelled via Eurostar and TGV, so used the shuttle service and private transfer to get to and from Angers St Laud. I called the booking line to arrange this and it was very easy to get there from Paris.
We had the most magical, fantastic few days and absolutely would recommend to other families!
I speak a little French, but my husband and 10 year old don’t, so we were interested and a little nervous to see how we’d get on with the live translation. Whilst the immersive experiences were a little hit and miss with the translations, available via the app (sometimes the same lines would be repeated or we’d miss part of the story), the translations for the live shows were very good. The shows are so spectacular that you can often easily tell what’s going on anyway!
We had so many ‘wow!’ moments during our stay, it was lovely to see our pre-teen get caught up in the magic and wonder of it all. Husband declared it better than Disney!
We stayed in Le Citadelle, which was a really wonderful hotel in the park. I’ve stayed in theme park hotels before at Disney, Legoland etc and not been very impressed with the facilities, so I was a bit worried but our room totally surpassed our expectations. Our room was clean, very well equipped, thoughtfully designed with a separate sleeping area for kids and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel offers an on-site restaurant, which offers a great continental breakfast selection that we thoroughly enjoyed.
Food on-site is of great quality and value and the shops offer decent souvenirs - not just plastic rubbish found elsewhere!
Overall, Puy du Fou totally blew us away and we made memories to last a lifetime. Fantastic experience and would highly recommend!
