Les Amoureux de Verdun, Historical attraction in Les Épesses, France
Les Amoureux de Verdun is a theatrical production within the Puy du Fou theme park that recreates scenes from World War I with detailed sets and sound effects. The performance follows a choreographed storyline that guides visitors through different scenes.
The production was named the world's best attraction at the 2015 IAAPA Attractions Expo and centers on the Battle of Verdun. This recognition established it as one of Europe's most acclaimed war-themed entertainment experiences.
The show tells the personal stories of French soldiers through letters and conversations exchanged during the war, giving visitors a human view of what soldiers experienced. This focus on individual voices makes the experience more moving than historical facts alone.
