Puy du Fou offers six extraordinary themed hotels in its "Cité Nocturne" (Night City), each representing a different historical era. Staying on-site extends the immersion, provides early park entry, and simplifies logistics—but comes at a premium.

- You want early park entry (1 hour before public)
✗ Stay Off-Site If...
- Budget is your primary concern
- Combining with broader Vendée/Loire travel

Le Grand Siècle offers the most romantic atmosphere. Le Logis de Lescure is the most exclusive with only 18 rooms.

Vacation Rentals & Camping

⚠️ Off-Site Consideration
If attending La Cinéscénie, staying off-site means driving after midnight when tired. This is the biggest argument for on-site accommodation.
