The Journey:
Le Grand Tour is the longest and most immersive of shows ever imagined in history. The travelers board a Belle Epoque train for a journey of two days and one night through the French provinces, but more than that, they enter the mystery of a moving theater where each meeting and event composes a scenario which unfolds from one stopover to the next, all the way to the final climax.
More than an excursion, Le Grand Tour is a poetic escape into French legend. An epic voyage, with its characters and famous figures, its secrets, and revelations.
Puy du Fou imagined for you a sumptuous Belle Epoque setting, and brings you in a poetic and spectacular journey, full of surprises and new emotions.
Like the most famous artists that have invented the French way of life and shaped the Belle Epoque spirit, get into Le Grand Tour Reims-Beaune to contemplate, and taste the marvels that are the charm and the richness of France.
On the most mythical railways, comfortably installed in your elegant cabin, admire the eminent places and landscapes of France, apart from the touristic tours.
Savour the most delicious dishes and let you surprise by the stopovers of our legendary train.
