Parc Astérix builds its lands from the Astérix comics — the Gaulish village, Roman city, ancient Greece and Egypt — and has quietly assembled one of France's strongest coaster collections. Toutatis, the 2023 launch coaster, is widely rated the best in the country; Goudurix, OzIris and the wooden Tonnerre 2 Zeus back it up.
Dolphin shows, sit-down Gallic banquets and a 30-minute transfer from Paris CDG make it a genuine alternative to Disneyland Paris.
