With more than two million visitors a year, Puy du Fou is the second most popular theme park in France after Disneyland Paris - despite not having any rides.
Instead, the park, which first opened in 1978, features historical re-enactments including Viking ship battles and kings fighting over lands - all set in the Middle Ages.
Its new park in Spain opened last week - although at present, guests can only visit on Fridays and Saturdays.
They will be able to watch the El Sueno de Toledo performance, which is based on 1,500 years of Spanish history.

The park is just an hour's drive from Madrid, on the outskirts of Toledo city.
