Le Bal des Oiseaux Fantômes
Le Bal des Oiseaux Fantômes is Puy du Fou's big bird show. By the ruins of an old castle, more than 330 birds of prey fly over the audience. The show lasts 33 minutes.
The story
In the age of castles, the memories of Princess Aliénor and her childhood friend Eloise come to life. Eagles, falcons, vultures, kites, owls and dozens of other birds of prey return to the ruins, which have been abandoned for centuries. The master falconers lead the aerial ballet.
The experience
According to the park, this aerial ballet is unique in the world. More than thirty years of work have gone into it, so that hundreds of birds fly at the same time in the finale. A team of 36 falconers looks after the birds every day. They are trained like top athletes from a young age. According to the park, the animals' welfare comes first.
