Parc Astérix

This typically French theme park is home to over 30 outside attractions, all based around the famous Astérix comic-strips, and is a fantastic alternative to Disneyland® Paris. Parc Astérix is especially well known for its large variety of roller coasters, and incorporates rides and themes from ancient cultures such as the Romans and the Gauls, including:
