Philippe de Villiers

Philippe de Villiers fascinates me less as a politician than as a builder of spectacle. Founding the Puy du Fou, a theme park that resurrects French history through massive live shows, takes a singular kind of obsession. Whatever one makes of his political positions, the man committed his life to rooting a grand narrative in the soil of the Vendée, and that creative tenacity is genuinely rare. He is an entrepreneur, novelist and provocateur all at once. I respect the sheer will it takes to turn personal conviction into a living, breathing monument that millions actually visit.
