Plailly, France Travel Photos
September 3, 2005
When I was doing my study abroad program in France, we visited Paris. Our tutors gave us the choice to choose between the two theme parks in the area: Disneyland Paris and Parc Asterix. We Chose Parc Asterix because it was the Frencher (if that's even a word) of the two, and we didn't regret it.
Parc Asterix is a Theme Park that exists since 1989(almost as old as me) and is based on the Cartoons and Comics of Asterix the Gaul. It is very famous in France, and I'd say it is decently famous world-wide. This theme park's specialty are rollercoasters.
This park is open only from April to October, so if you're near Paris on those dates, you should visit it. Luckily, the park can be easily visited in a single day, so you'll only be paying the 35 euros admission fee once.
Between the rides that I tried and liked, you can find:
* Tonerre de Zeus, its a top notch wooden roller coaster.
* L'Oxygenarium which is a water slide in which you hop into some round thingies.
* La Galere which is nothing more than a swinging ship, but it is still a classic.
* Menhir Express, which is a classic water ride where you hop into a log and just let the flow take you (to a 13 meter drop).
