A few photos from a trip to the Puy du Fou in Western France. There are lots of scheduled attractions including a birds exhibition that involves around 200 birds ranging from ravens, storks, egrets, vultures, buzzards, kites and other raptors all in the air at once. The handlers move about in the crowd so there are birds the size of a hang glider skimming over your head. Part of the show involves releasing an eagle and a peregrine falcon from cages suspended under a balloon 200 foot up. They stoop to a lure.

Another show involves a Roman Amphitheatre with sword fights, chariot racing, lions, tiger, the lot!

The slaves are thrown into a small caged cart followed by the tiger!  About ten minutes later they all get out alive and better dressed than when they went in.
