Access to the event
Our recommendations for a good show
La Cinéscénie: What if it rains?
In the event of rain or bad weather, the Cinéscenie show is held. We advise you to bring waterproof rain gear with hoods. You will not be able to use an umbrella in the stands. You can also bring a small trash bag to put on your seat in the stands. In the event of last minute bad weather, Puy du Fou offers k-ways for sale.
The show takes place outdoors, so it is necessary to bring warm clothing, and possibly a small blanket or blanket for those who are more chilly!
La Cinéscénie: Why come early?
You arrive 1 hour early and you find yourself in traffic jams at the entrances to Puy du Fou? Rest assured, your place is numbered and reserved in the stands. Access time to car parks, entrances and security are included when we strongly recommend that you arrive 1 hour in advance. This weather also allows you to discover the stands of the Puy du Fou, its excitement on Cinéscénie evenings and the exceptional view of the stage at dusk. So mark the date in your calendar, set your watch and be on time to enjoy the pre-show as well!
La Cinéscénie: A nighttime show for children?
The Cinéscénie show is not recommended for younger children (under 7 years old). For the youngest, the Puy du Fou® offers a nighttime show “The Marriage of Fire” at dusk every other evening of the week.
If you are a family, and you wish to attend the Cinéscenie with young children, we advise you to provide them with earplugs or noise-canceling headphones. Children under 3 years old, for whom the show is free, are seated on an adult's lap.
La Cinéscénie: Are outings allowed?
It is possible to leave Puy du Fou® and return for Cinéscénie… The two entrances are independent. If you spend the day at Puy du Fou in the middle of summer, we advise you to allow time to return to your hotel or your car to pick up some warm clothing. Even if it is very hot during the day, it is always cooler in the evening in the Cinéscénie panoramic stand. Consider including this time in addition to your meal break before the nightly show.
Night falls, a voice, music sounds... In a few moments, the shivers arrive and you are immersed in this exceptional performance... The Cinéscénie begins.
Good show !
