Let’s face it: at Christmas time, we want to keep our childlike spirit alive. So why not treat yourself to a trip to the park? After the big crowds of All Saints’ Day during the Halloween celebrations, the park has just put on its lights with these spectacular and unforgettable attractions. The great amusement park offers you an exceptional enchantment on the occasion of the end of year celebrations… The opportunity to spend the day in the famous amusement park.
For the festive season, the Asterix park has pulled out all the stops with inspired decorations and an ice rink in the sliding village. Toboggan runs are also available!

I’m Michelle, and I love to travel. As a former hotel expert for one of the world’s largest hotel chains, I’ve stayed in nearly every type of room imaginable (including many that were not so desirable!). Nowadays, I am fortunate enough to be able to explore the world on my own terms. From international flights to learning different languages, there is nothing too far out of reach!
