Discounts for holders of two-day passes, hotel-park passes, or “Forfait Parc Astérix,” which includes entry and train/bus ride to the park). Parking i5. There is a bus every half-hour from Roissy-CDG Airport (Gare Routière, Quai A3). From Paris, take the RER B3 to Roissy-CDG1 and transfer to the bus. This popular amusement park is similar to its Disney competitor in style, the major differences being the theme (based on the French comic strip, Astérix & Obelix) and the rides (Parc Astérix has a seven-loop rollercoaster and a giant wooden rollercoaster). There are different areas of the park dedicated to Ancient Greece, Old Paris, and Gallic Village Life, and shows throughout the day, including live dolphins, falconry demonstrations, and Three Musketeers swordfights. Restaurants in the park serve wild boar (sanglier), Obelix’s favorite food. There is certainly a commercial side, with Astérix’s winged helmet replacing the mouse ears, but it’s not as omnipresent as at Disney. In the artisan’s village you can watch real stone and wood carvers, stained-glass and pottery-makers. Aside from the map, there’s nothing in English, so be prepared to learn a bit of French. Try to go weekdays outside French holidays (avoid August if possible). There’s a three-star family hotel next door owned by the park: Hôtel des Trois Hiboux, from Euro 81 (click on “Hotel & Shops” on the park web site).
