A new attraction: The Tower of Numérobis, a brand-new musical: C’EST DU DÉLIRE!, new characters, a new float for the Gaulish Parade… for 2024, Parc Astérix has a whole host of new attractions to surprise its visitors as it celebrates its 35th anniversary.
C’EST DU DÉLIRE ! THE FIRST EVER GAULISH MUSICAL
Follow the adventures of Groupidupianix and Sérotonine! One aspires to become the most illustrious bard in all Gaul, while the other dreams of becoming the first female druid. But their path to realising their dreams is not entirely free of obstacles. By joining forces, these two adventurous companions promise to spread the magic! Accompanied by 9 other actors and singers, they will perform original songs written and composed by Vidal & Salvia especially for this Parc Astérix production. After 3 years in the making, these songs will finally be heard at the Panoramix theatre (600 seats).

To facilitate construction at altitude, he has designed a sort of crane with several arms, enabling the stones to be hoisted and stacked, with scrupulous attention to their proper layout. Visitors will be suspended up to 40 metres high during the three phases of this experience: the ascent, the panoramic rotation and the descent.

The dog was carrying a whole baguette crosswise in his teeth. He trotted off the beach at the head of the cove, through a scrim of palms, maneuvering it between a red flowering hibiscus and a beached outrigger canoe. We followed. The dog passed a low tin-roofed house, one of only six dwellings in this roadless, remote island valley. He skirted two shirtless young men untethering a horse from a breadfruit tree. Ink covered their chests and arms in black patterns that looked like manta rays and birds. The dog went on, jauntily carrying his baguette, passing a grapefruit tree that shaded a telephone booth. Labeled “Téléphone” and containing a coin-operated pay phone, the steel-and-glass cabin looked wildly out of place in this setting.
