Shows and parades
Shows and parades at Parc Astérix
Shows are part and parcel of Parc Astérix: from stunts and a diving competition to a musical and a parade with all the famous characters. The programme changes every season. You'll find the day's showtimes in the app and on the park's website. The park warns that some shows don't run on weekdays.
Big shows
- Les plongeons de l'Olympe (20 min): Greeks and Romans battle it out in a diving competition in the Théâtre de Poséidon, in honour of Zeus.
- C'est du délire ! (30 min, indoors): the first Gaulish musical, about a bard and a woman who wants to become a druid, with eleven singers.
- Gaulois vs Romains : Le Match (25 min, indoors): a big TV-style game show in the Roman arena, with three physical challenges.
- Main basse sur la Joconde (25 min): a stunt show about the theft of the Mona Lisa, in summer.
Parade and characters
In the Défilé Gaulois (20 min), Astérix, Caesar, Cleopatra, the Gauls and the pirates make their way through the park, with the Spanish float as the newest addition. You can also meet Astérix, Obélix, Falbala and Panoramix in the Gaulish village for a photo or a selfie (Rencontres avec les personnages).
Street theatre and smaller shows
- Pirates en galère (25 min): Barbe Rouge wants to retire as pirate captain. Who will take his place?
- La Patrouille Romaine (30 min): a strict Centurionne drills her Roman soldiers through the park.
- Du Rififi dans la basse cour (20 min): an animal show about a Roman soldier who ends up in the Gaulish village.
- Les offrandes de Cléopâtre (7 min): Cleopatra and her ladies-in-waiting dance on the square by OzIris, in summer.
Peur sur le Parc
In autumn there's Peur sur le Parc, the Halloween event. On certain days the park is then open in the evening, from 7pm to 1am, with a separate ticket. There are haunted houses (Catacombes, Les Enfers de Pompéi and Le tombeau des Dieux), the scare trail La Forêt Sans Retour (not recommended for under-16s) and shows such as Le Défilé des Monstres, La danse des morts-vivants and a light and water show on the temple of OzIris.
Some children's rides are closed during the evening openings. The dates for 2027 haven't been announced yet (as of November 2026).
Noël Gaulois
From 19 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 inclusive, the park celebrates Noël Gaulois. New this year is Les Merveilles de Cléopâtre, a sound and light show projected onto the façade of the OzIris palace. There's also the ice show Qui veut la peau du Père Noël ?, the acrobatics show Quel Cirque !, Chantons Noël, a Christmas parade, a Christmas market with Viking-style chalets and an illuminated walk through the queue of Romus et Rapidus: les jardins merveilleux du Père Noël.
The Patinoire Viking and La Glissade d'Obélix are only available during this period. A Noël ticket costs €57, for adults and children alike (as of November 2026).
