Discover Parc Astérix
What kind of park is it?
Parc Astérix is 35 kilometres north of Paris. The park is based on the comics by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo about Astérix, Obélix and their indomitable Gaulish village. Your ticket gives you access to all shows and attractions.
The park is known for its rollercoasters. According to the park, Toutatis is the fastest rollercoaster in France, OzIris is an inverted coaster and Goudurix has been running since the opening. There's also plenty for families, from Pégase Express to Cétautomatix. There's also a good number of attractions for children under 1 metre.
How is the park laid out?
Parc Astérix is made up of several worlds from the comics:
- Via Antiqua: the entrance street with the biggest shops.
- La Gaule: Astérix's village, with Cétautomatix, La Trace du Hourra and Menhir Express.
- Festival Toutatis: around the Toutatis rollercoaster, with Chez Gyrofolix and a large playground.
- L'Empire Romain: the Roman square, with Romus et Rapidus and Le Carrousel de César.
- La Grèce Antique: with Tonnerre 2 Zeus, Pégase Express and Discobélix.
- L'Égypte: expanded in 2026, with OzIris, La Descente du Nil and L'Envol d'Ibis.
- Les Vikings: with Goudurix, La Galère and the revolving bar L'Aérolaf.
- À Travers le Temps: a journey through time, with shows.

How the park began
Parc Astérix opened in 1989. In 2024 the park celebrated its 35th birthday with the first Gaulish musical, C'est du délire!. Goudurix has been there from the start.
The park has grown considerably since then. Toutatis opened in 2023, Cétautomatix in 2025, and in 2026 the Egyptian zone gained new attractions and a buffet restaurant. The park is operated by Grévin & Cie and is part of the Compagnie des Alpes, the group behind Walibi Holland and Walibi Belgium, among others.
Events throughout the year
Parc Astérix changes with the seasons. In summer there's Un été Gaulois: in 2027 from 10 July to 29 August inclusive, with the park open until 10pm. In autumn comes Peur sur le Parc, the Halloween event with haunted houses and evening openings. Around the festive season there's Noël Gaulois, with an ice rink, a snow slide and Christmas shows.
