Discover La Galère
Our tips:
- Sit at the back for more butterflies
- Lovely view of the lake
- A calmer change of pace
La Galère
La Galère is Parc Astérix's swinging ship, in the Vikings area. The ship swings higher and higher back and forth in an imaginary storm. On the park's Dutch-language website it's called De Galei.
The concept
In the middle of a huge storm, only your courage can keep the ship afloat. The waves are your greatest enemy. The park keeps it light-hearted: nobody gets shipwrecked, but the ship does tilt alarmingly.
The Experience
Forwards, backwards, forwards, backwards: the ship swings further and further. At the highest points you briefly feel yourself lifting off your bench. The ride is short and most fun with a group of friends or the whole family.

Sit at the back for more butterflies
The further you sit from the middle, the higher you go and the stronger the floating feeling.
Lovely view of the lake
The ship stands by the water, with Goudurix in the background.
A calmer change of pace
After the big roller coasters, La Galère is a nice, shorter ride for the whole family from 1.20 metres.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.20 metres tall. Wheelchair users take a lift to the platform; you need to be able to transfer onto the bench yourself.
A classic by the water
La Galère is one of the park's long-standing favourites. Afterwards you can walk straight on to Goudurix or the children's rides in the Vikings area.
