Experience Gaulish Summer from July 11 to August 30, 2026, with days extended until 10 p.m. and the big new feature: a nighttime show. Just 35 km north of Paris, Parc Astérix invites kids and adults alike on a true journey of discovery and thrills, featuring 50 rides and performances spread across five realms: Gaul, the Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, Egypt, and the Vikings. A day out designed to pack in adventures for family or friends, with a varied program to delight visitors of every age.

Parc Astérix remains an easy day trip from Paris and the Île-de-France region, whether you drive (via the toll-free highway from Paris) or travel by public transport (RER/shuttle). It has become, year after year, a refreshing escape. And this summer, the park enhances the experience with Gaulish Summer: the perfect chance to pack in the thrills with a program tailor-made to please both kids and grown-ups.

A major new feature: the nighttime show

For the first time, the stars are infused with magical potion as the new grand nighttime show on the lake unfolds: Astérix and the Potion of Stars!

Each evening, more than 350 drones light up the sky and bring to life the legendary adventures of Astérix, Obélix and their companions. Between pyrotechnics, fireworks, lights, water screens and lasers, let yourself be swept away by a spectacular show that fuses emotion with Gaulish magic. A must-see family rendezvous under the stars.

Gaulish Summer: runs from July 11 to August 30

A summer tailored to let you soak up the quintessential Gallic vibe: challenges for kids and adults alike, attractions for every taste, and shows... Expect splashes all season long with The Nile Descent, Menhir Express, Pirates’ Revenge – Grand Splatch, and Romus and Rapidus.
