Le Signe du Triomphe
Le Signe du Triomphe is one of Puy du Fou's best-known shows. In a Gallo-Roman stadium you see gladiators, wild animals and a thrilling chariot race. The show lasts 30 minutes and is set in the third century AD.
The story
The Gauls have risen up against the Roman occupiers. To save their lives, the Gallic prisoners must win the Circus Games under the watchful eye of the Roman governor. You follow Damien and Soline, two characters whose lives are turned upside down in this arena. They have to take on gladiators and win the famous chariot race.
The experience
Dozens of actors and trained animals perform on an enormous set. Costumes, props and sets are made as authentic as possible, so you feel as if you are in a Roman arena 2,000 years ago. The atmosphere in the grandstand is exuberant: the audience cheers along with the games. The highlight is the chariot race, with horses thundering right past the grandstand.
