Parc Asterix is one of the most popular theme parks in France and is close to the capital in Paris. With over 2 million people attending each year, the famous comic books come to live in their own dedicated theme park. With over 40 rides and attractions, a well known brand and experience since opening in 1989, 2022 and the future of Parc Asterix only gets better and better! 

Parc Asterix is located just 15 minutes drive from Paris CDG airport. There are several options of travel including driving, taxi and buses. We chose to use the Parc Asterix shuttle bus service, this runs between Paris CDG Airport and the theme park. From the ‘Aeroport Charles De Gaulle 1’ RER station, go to the Parc Asterix counter which is signposted within the terminal, where you need to go to the ticket booths to either purchase a ticket, or validate the online ticket. Parc Asterix shuttle buses leave up to every 30 minutes from 9am until 1 hour after park closure. Return tickets cost €10 per adult. We found the journey to be easy and took less than 20 minutes on the bus to get to the park.

Whilst on the topic of the stunt show, it’s not to be missed. This was hands down (no pun intended), the best stunt show we’ve seen to date at a theme park within Europe. There were so many different scenes, stunts and special effects used in this 30 minute action packed whirlwind. If you even blinked, you might have missed something. We loved how even though it was in French, all languages could understand the show and the concept of what they are trying to get across. Only a few parks do that and for a 30 minute show to pull that message across, it just a pure bravo moment!

This is just one of many shows at Parc Asterix, from magic and illusions through to comedic Romans, to smaller meet and greets with Asterix and Obelix. 

Toutatis is Parc Asterix new coaster for 2023. Inspired by Taron at Phantasialand, this is a Intamin launched coaster which already looks stunning. It was originally meant to open in 2021 however, due to planning and the coranavirus, it has been delayed until the 2023 season. The park have already started to build the coaster and we managed to get some snaps of this thrill machine. 

We cannot wait to see how Toutatis adds to the park in 2023!

Overall. Parc Asterix is an impressive theme park in France and is one of our favourites across all of Europe as a whole experience. They have nailed what you would want from a theme park, from rides & shows, to food and themes. 2022 is a fun and exciting year for Parc Asterix and 2023 is only going to be better! 

Thank you to the Parc Asterix team for inviting us to visit and supplying us 2 entrance tickets to the theme park. Until the next time time!
