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.

✓ Stay On-Site If...

  • You're attending La Cinéscénie
  • Travelling with young children who need naps
  • You value immersive theming and convenience
  • You want early park entry (1 hour before public)

✗ Stay Off-Site If...

  • Budget is your primary concern
  • Combining with broader Vendée/Loire travel
  • You prefer vacation rentals or camping
  • One day at the park is sufficient

Which Hotel Should You Choose?

For Families with Young Children

Recommended: Les Îles de Clovis or Camp du Drap d'Or

Les Îles de Clovis offers the largest rooms (30m²) and sleeps up to 5 with bunk beds. Camp du Drap d'Or is the budget option with a festive atmosphere children enjoy.

For Couples

Recommended: Le Grand Siècle or Le Logis de Lescure

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

For Budget-Conscious Visitors

Recommended: Camp du Drap d'Or

The least expensive on-site option by a meaningful margin, yet still beautifully themed with four-poster beds.

💡 Booking Tip

All on-site hotels sell packages that include park entry and breakfast—these represent good value compared to booking separately. Popular dates book months in advance.

Off-Site Alternatives

Les Herbiers (10-15 mins)

The nearest town with hotels including Hôtel Parc du Landreau (3-star with pool) and ibis Les Herbiers.

Vacation Rentals & Camping

The Vendée region has excellent vacation rentals via VRBO and Booking.com. Puy du Fou has a motorhome service area with 650 spaces.

⚠️ 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.
