And a wrong take that try to push a political agenda.

It's a fun park but don't take history lesson history here are more that political oriented legends.

They are like history channel ...

At French school we a were taught wrong takes when it comes to history (less so, of course)

It’s mainly the history from a « républicain » point of view. Also served with a blatant pro European federalism take.

Nothing wrong per se, but we should have a critical view on what we were fed with.

The mere fact that French Revolution can be told from the point of view of loosers is a revelation to many French.

The value of Puy du Fou is in the teaching of pluralism while being hightly entertaing in the process.

> The mere fact that French Revolution can be told from the point of view of losers is a revelation to many French.

The French Revolution is always told from the point of view of losers. Most of its most prominent actors ended losing at some point and the whole thing ends with an epuration followed by a military coup.

The myth surrounding the Revolution has little to do with who won or lost. Like most of what the French view as their history, it is a construction dating from the rise of nationalism at the end of the 19th century.

It's not pluralism when it's false facts.

There are science and facts. You can't teach false facts to people.

[ptidhomme]

I'm not sure you can say there is a "right" or a "wrong" take on history. Rather, different focus and interpretation.

[sofixa]

What? You should be sure, it's just basic common sense. Facts are facts, and almost everything is nuanced, but for instance claiming that the Holocaust didn't happen, the French did nothing in WWI, or that the Nazis were socialists are entirely factually wrong takes.

There are true facts and false facts.

Even right wing historians find the orientation of the puy du fou wrong.

Ainsi, comme le soulignent Jean-Clément Martin, historien spécialiste de la Révolution française, de la Contre-révolution et de la guerre de Vendée, et Valérie Sottocasa, maître de conférences en histoire moderne à l'université Toulouse-Jean-Jaurès, le spectacle, « d'emblée militant et symbolique »12 exalte « le mythe d'un âge d'or durant lequel nobles et gens du peuple étaient soudés par un même idéal communautaire »11 mais « qui a servi jusqu'à nos jours à consolider une culture politique dont témoignent les commémorations du Puy du Fou, sans doute les plus spectaculaires du genre11 ». La mobilisation des populations locales dans le cadre d'« une association défendant les valeurs de la famille et de la tradition » s'inscrit dans ce cadre : il s'agit de « populariser une idée de l'histoire de France teintée de Contre-Révolution »13, comme le montrent en outre dans les années 1980 et 1990 les thématiques des colloques qui s'y déroulent ou l'utilisation de la venue d'Alexandre Soljenitsyne. Jean-Clément Martin et Charles Suaud font remarquer en outre que le spectacle de la Cinéscénie dépeint une société paysanne vendéenne faussement uniforme « privée de ses contradictions internes, soumise aux aléas des saisons et des traumatismes extérieurs », occultant à la fois les affrontements ayant eu lieu en Vendée entre catholiques et protestants pendant les guerres de religion et les rapports de domination économique et sociale13.
