In the meantime, here’s everything you need to know about this one-of-a-kind show, which features more than 370 drones and brings Asterix, Obelix, Idefix, Abraracourcix, and many other Gallic heroes to life in the sky in spectacular fashion…
Asterix and the Star Potion: a breathtaking new XXL nighttime show
This summer, Parc Astérix has plenty of surprises in store for its visitors. Starting July 11, every night at 10 p.m., “Asterix and the Star Potion” will bring a touch of magic to the night sky, right above the lake. As night falls, the sky transforms into a massive living stage thanks to this XXL show, which features cutting-edge technology and is perfectly orchestrated.
Imagine Asterix, Obelix, Idefix, Abraracourcix, Falbala, and even Panoramix coming to life in an impressive aerial ballet. The visual narrative blends humor, adventure, and poetry in a breathtaking show, faithful to the world of Goscinny and Uderzo, and transforms the sky into a gigantic, luminous comic strip.

Called “Les Comptoirs d’Épidemaïs, ” this one-of-a-kind venue immerses visitors in a setting inspired by ancient Egypt and offers a varied menu of Middle Eastern flavors. Hummus, a couscous bar, chicken tagine, sweet treats , and traditional mint tea: a true journey for the senses awaits you.
