Gaulish Summer at Parc Asterix, night-time events, banquet and refreshing vacation entertainment

This summer, Parc Astérix is dedicating a special season to our irreducible Gauls. From July 14 to September 2, 2023, L'Été Gaulois unfolds throughout the Park, offering a program of activities for all ages. Let's find out what's in store for this edition.

We start by refreshing ourselves with the park's 7 water attractions: Menhir Express, Le Grand Splash, Romus et Rapidus, l'Oxygénarium, La Rivière d'Elis, Hydrolix and Épidemaïs Croisière. From exhilarating descents to water rides, there's something for everyone.

And, having tested them, one thing's for sure: in summer, these attractions really do water. The jets of water are directed more towards us, and we do cool off.

The Jeux d'Odous are also on hand during the summer months to refresh young and old with water games. Don't forget your swimsuit!

Then it's on to the Aerolaf, a rotating bar located in the Viking zone, offering a panoramic view of the park and forest. At a height of 35 metres, it's a vertiginous experience that awaits you, and above all, you get to enjoy the fresh air and the breeze up high.

If you can't dive into the divers' pool during the fantastic show, note that there are sprinklers to keep you cool too.

But what would a day at Parc Asterix be without the revival of the legendary Gaulish Banquet? You'll find yourself immersed in the world of the comics, sharing a 100% Gaulish feast in the open air, in the company of the mythical characters. It's a culinary and immersive experience found nowhere else.

Also new this summer is the Pirates show, which will be on twice a day.

We don't really need to remind you, but of course, you can't miss Toutatis this summer. Quickly voted your favorite attraction in the park, it's definitely worth the detour.

And don't miss the Parade Gauloise at 4:00 pm, featuring 4 floats: Cleopatra, Caesar, The Gauls and a new float making its first appearance this summer: the Pirate float. All the characters from the comic strip will be taking part in the celebration.

Finally, for even more fun, Parc Astérix is extending its opening hours until 10 p.m., to end the day in style with a sound, light and fireworks show. There's plenty to keep you entertained and refreshed this summer!
