The park has a number of themed regions, based on Astérix stories in historic periods such as the Vikings, Romans and Ancient Egypt. The park is famous for its roller coasters, including one for thrill-seekers with 7 loops! Dance with Robots, There are plenty of rides and attractions for children too, or just for visitors who aren’t feeling quite so brave!

Uncover the world of magic in Panoramix’s laboratory. Keep an eye out for the sneaky crooks in the misty Le Havre harbour as they attempt to steal the Mona Lisa.
