Le Secret de la Lance
Le Secret de la Lance is a medieval adventure on a grand scale. In front of an enormous fortress wall you see knights, jousts and acrobatics on horseback. The show lasts 29 minutes and is set during the Hundred Years' War.
The story
Joan of Arc comes to see the knight Fulgent to gather the finest warriors against the English. After the knights leave for Orléans, the young shepherdess Marguerite is left alone at the castle. She must discover the secret of a lance with special powers to protect the enchanted walls during a battle.
The experience
Sword fights, jousts, acrobatics on horseback and stunts follow one another in quick succession. According to the park, this is one of Puy du Fou's most iconic shows. The set is a technical tour de force: walls disappear and the keep moves to defend itself against the attackers.
