A first poster was revealed, as well as a pitch suggesting a parody of Puy du Fou with Normandy sauce:
His name is Gerald. Its objective: to restore the image of its heart region, Normandy. His method: build the largest amusement park in the country, to the glory of William the Conqueror. And to achieve this, he is ready to go far, very far…
Remember this name carefully, because it will make history!
