CultureTheme park or political park: Did France’s Puy du Fou break Russian sanctions?

France’s popular Puy du Fou theme park is facing questions over whether it became a “Disneyland for Dictators,” as The Guardian describes it. Documents uncovered by the British newspaper suggest the park continued working with a Russian oligarch well after sanctions against him were imposed. The report also points to links with Vladimir Putin and the park’s plans to expand abroad. Critics accuse Puy du Fou of rewriting history.
