How do you get to Puy du Fou?
Getting to Puy du Fou
Puy du Fou is on the edge of Les Epesses, in the Vendée department (85). The park lies between the Atlantic coast and the châteaux of the Loire, about an hour from Nantes and Angers. The address is Puy du Fou, CS 70025, 85590 Les Epesses.
By car
Puy du Fou is close to the A87, exit 28. According to the park, that's the usual route for anyone coming from the direction of Paris. So from the Netherlands and Belgium you first drive towards Paris and then continue west.
According to the park, the drive from Paris takes about 3 hours and 15 minutes, and from Angers and Nantes about an hour. From the Netherlands and Belgium, expect a long drive, depending on where you set off. That's why many visitors combine the park with a few days' holiday in the Vendée.
