HOT Destination Tips – Personally Recommended by Our Travel Experts

Step into history brought to life at Puy du Fou – one of Europe’s most spectacular theme parks (without a single roller coaster in sight). 🇫🇷⚔️

Puy du Fou, in Vendée, France, is all about grand live-action shows rather than rides. Think epic stunt performances, special effects, trained animals and whole villages recreated from different eras – it’s like walking onto a movie set, all day long. 🎭🐎

It’s France’s second-most visited theme park after Disneyland Paris, welcoming over 2 million visitors a year – and once you’ve been, you’ll see why. 🌍✨

You’ll find themed spectacles running throughout the day, including:
• A roaring Roman Colosseum, complete with chariot races and gladiator-style drama 🏛️🐎
• Swashbuckling musketeers, flamenco dancers and a flooded stage that has to be seen to be believed 💃⚔️
• Massive bird of prey displays that sweep over the audience 🦅
• Medieval and Viking shows with battles, villages and ships ⚔️🚢
• And more…

There are no mechanical rides – just immersive storytelling, clever effects and performers who make you feel like history is happening right in front of you. As they say at the park: “HISTORY IS WAITING FOR YOU”. 🕰️

Insider tip: Puy du Fou is incredibly popular with locals and visitors alike, so planning ahead is key.

Dreaming of adding something unforgettable to your France itinerary? ✈️

Pop in and see your Palmy travel team at House of Travel The Square, or send us a message. We can help you work Puy du Fou into a bigger European adventure! 💫

💡 Travel Tip:
Pack sunscreen that suits both your skin and the environment you’ll be visiting – especially if you’ll swim in sensitive or fresh water areas.

Why it’s a great idea:
👉 Some destinations and eco tourism areas only allow natural or reef safe sunscreens. 🌊
👉 Choosing the right product means you protect your skin without harming coral, fish or delicate ecosystems. 🐠🪸
👉 You avoid having your sunscreen confiscated or being asked not to use certain products on tours. 🚫
👉 It’s a small change that can make a big difference to the places we all love to visit. 🌍

HOT Destination Tips – Personally Recommended by Our Travel Experts

Step inside Europe’s ultimate “big kid” playground: Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg. ✨

Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg is the world’s largest model railway and an incredibly detailed miniature world, set inside a historic warehouse in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt district.🚂

Set in all four seasons with day and night sequences, you can literally lose hours wandering multiple floors, totally mesmerised by the detail. There are multiple themed sections representing different parts of the world. The lighting regularly shifts from day to night, so cities light up, airports and motorways glow, and buildings look lived in. One of the showpieces is a fully modelled airport where planes actually move, taxi, and “take off” and “land”.

It’s designed to be fun for adults and kids, with lots of humour and surprises tucked into the scenery.

Insider tip: this place is insanely popular – waiting times at the door can be long ⏳

This is one attraction you’ll be talking about long after you’ve left Hamburg. 💫
