A historical show
inspired by real events
François-Athanase Charette de la Contrie, known as “Charette”, was a hero of the American War of Independence. In 1793, during a battle, his life was turned upside down. Le Dernier Panache brilliantly recounts the struggle of this French-Vendéen hero for freedom. If you’re a fan of stories inspired by real events, you’ll be immediately won over by this skilfully-crafted and captivating show!
The sets are majestic, the costumes are as close to reality as possible, and the music transports us to Charette’s side… It’s beautiful, moving, catchy, in short, we want more!
A critically acclaimed production
Le Dernier Panache du Puy du Fou is an outstanding show that has won awards to match its merits. Upon its release in 2017, this show was voted ” Best Creation in the World ” before receiving, some time later, the ” Best European Creation ” award. A distinction that comes as no surprise, as the staging of this show is nothing short of grandiose. Audiences are literally transported to the heart of the battle scene, and imagine themselves as Charette’s acolytes for the 34 minutes of entertainment.
Once again, the Puy du Fou has spared no expense in taking its spectators on a journey back in time that’s truer than life. Thanks to a rotating stand, spectators are immersed in 360° scenery, and ultra-high-definition video projections complete this timeless experience. It’s a rare technological innovation that lets you follow the action as if you were there!
