Description du livre
This is the story of a shattered dream: that of the volunteers, the long-time owners of Puy du Fou, who found themselves stripped of the fruits of forty years of dedication and enthusiasm.
To achieve this outcome, Philippe de Villiers and his son Nicolas proceeded in small, successive steps. Ruthlessly sidelining those who stood in their way and causing the departure of hundreds of Puyfolais, they transferred governance and de facto ownership of the entire Puy du Fou group to their family, contrary to what they continue to claim in the media.
Through numerous and deeply moving testimonies and relying on indisputable statistical data, the author restores the true history of Puy du Fou and pays tribute to its Pioneers, the iconic figures behind a success that owes everything to them.
Ancienne journaliste, d’abord à Valeurs actuelles puis dans la presse régionale, installée en Vendée depuis 1993, Christine Chamard a été bénévole au Puy du Fou pendant près de vingt ans.
