"In 2017, the Grand Carillon opens in the heart of the 18th century village. This musical show features four peasants gathering around a carillonneur to sing popular peasant songs.

In the center of the 18th century Village stands an immense carillon 16 meters high. Several times a day, at each performance, this original and spectacular architecture displays its 70 bells. For about ten minutes, you will attend a most surprising musical show!

In addition to the grandiose music of the bells, 2 acrobatic actors move through the air around the imposing structure, to the rhythm of the famous 18th century popular melodies re-orchestrated by the Puy du Fou. Enjoy an original moment of music with the family!"

" En 2017, le Grand Carillon ouvre au cœur du village XVIIIe siècle. Ce spectacle musical met en scène quatre paysans se retrouvant autour d'un carillonneur pour reprendre des chansons paysannes populaires.

Au centre du Village XVIIIème se dresse un immense carillon de 16 mètres de hauteur. Plusieurs fois par jour, à chaque représentation, cette architecture originale et spectaculaire déploie ses 70 cloches. Durant une dizaine de minutes, vous assisterez à un spectacle musical des plus surprenants !

En plus de la musique grandiose des cloches, 2 comédiens voltigeurs évoluent dans les airs autour de l’imposante structure, au rythme des célèbres mélodies populaires du XVIIIème siècle réorchestrées par le Puy du Fou. Profitez d’un moment original de musique en famille !"
