Why do you feel the need to tell people that the park creator is a nationalist? It is not a crime and the park is about history and entertainment for families and kids on school trip.


I don't think it will be a surprise to you that people creating and managing companies take an active part in the company's vision and direction.

Just like medias owned by far right or far left entities will put a far right or far left spin on everything they treat.

I never said it was a crime, I'm just saying that the park creations shouldn't be interpreted as factual nor accurate depiction of historical events.

It's like arguing that Jesus did XYZ because that's what you saw in the movie "the passion of the chirst". As I said in another comment, as long as you don't pretend you're providing historical facts it's all good, but it's not the case here.


Is someone here complaining that the Round Table play about King Arthur is not historical [1]?

Or this year's interpretation of Cyrano de Bergerac [2]?

I do not get where this complaint about "historical facts" comes from.

The story about Vendée and Lafayette is not even in this year's programme [3] and I truly believe that French should be ashamed for shaving it off.

They've impoverished themselves and now they have one less thing to whine about.

What are the stories presented in the park that are not historical facts?


A lot of people recognize that nationalism is toxic to peaceful civilization and prefer to avoid those who promote it heavily.

Nationalism is in some cases legal, but it’s not respectable and we need not dignify it as such.


You don't even have to go that far. It's obvious that the intention of the company's creator are carried through the company actions, be it nationalism, environmentalism, religious views, &c.

All sources are biased but some are more biased than others. Nationalists are the last people I'd trust to give an accurate depiction of their country's history.


You don't meet this guy when you visit the park. The park is an artistic endeavour to let kids and families learn about some french history in a fun way; the same history that you find in school textbooks. No politics involved.
