In light of the coronavirus pandemic, the reopening of tourist attractions, theme parks and restaurants in France’s green zone is set for June 2.

As the safety measures need to be put in place, Puy du Fou will reopen on June 11, and will remain open until November 1.

The attraction will implement various health and safety measures, in accordance with government guidelines, to ensure the safety of guests and staff.

More than 250 disinfection points will be available, and signs and information screens will remind guests about social distancing and other procedures.

Additionally, all staff will be equipped with PPE, including face masks, gloves and visors. They will be fully trained in security and hygiene.
