Puy du Fou
LES EPESSES, FRANCE
This theme park centers around interactive historical drama performances with high-tech special effects, where visitors embark on Viking expeditions, gladiator fights and more. There are also reconstructed historical settlements, and the six on-site hotels are themed—stay at a Middle Age citadel, a Versailles replica or in a Merovingian-era thatched roof hut, among others.
