Les Vikings
Les Vikings takes you back to the year 1000. While a village celebrates a wedding, Viking ships rise up out of the water. The show lasts 26 minutes and is packed with stunts, fire and special effects.
The story
The whole village of Saint Philbert le Vieil is celebrating the wedding of Sybèle and Aldéric. Then terrifying longships appear amid huge flames: the Vikings attack the village and its thatched huts. At the foot of the great motte the battle rages. Only a miracle can save the villagers now.
The experience
The set backs onto Puy du Fou's centuries-old forest and is made of real materials. There is a 22-metre tower, Viking ships 20 metres long and stuntmen who surface from under the water. You can feel the flames all the way up in the grandstand. The pace is high, so the 26 minutes fly by.
