Parc-Asterix - Festival Toutatis: a new zone accessible to all the family

By Mulder, 27 march 2023

From 8th April, Parc Astérix launches the most ambitious project since its creation: Festival Toutatis. This brand new zone devoted to the God of the Gauls, Toutatis, covers 3 hectares and boasts some truly exceptional scenography in the heart of the Gaul Zone. This fabulous new zone is home to the largest playground ever created in the park: Le Sanglier d'Or. This new space for little Gauls is part of a natural world set all around a Giant Golden Boar. A new family attraction, Chez Gyrofolix, has also been added to this new area.

After more than two years of work, the opening of the new area of Parc Asterix, Festival Toutatis, is scheduled for 8th April. It features a major roller coaster that will embody the God of the Gauls, Toutatis, with a host of record-breaking and dizzying manoeuvres that will delight thrill-seekers. Parc Asterix has also devised a new area for little Gauls between 3 and 10 years old: “Le Sanglier d'Or“ playground. 33 features are divided into 3 play levels: marcassin, silver boar, and golden boar. This new playground offers: obstacle courses, slides, tunnels, climbing nets, balance games and giant footbridges... A huge 6.8m high boar has been set up at the entrance of this playground with 5 activities inside. The whole layout of this area has been designed around this giant boar in the heart of the forest, surrounded by shields, a giant elixir, a giant cauldron and celebratory decorations. 

This new zone is perfect for the whole family. Gyrofolix the Gaul has created his hypnotic family attraction Chez Gyrofolix to take part in the Toutatis Festival and entertain young and old alike. Its four arms swing around horizontal axes in a circular motion, while the central tower rotates on itself. The arms are synchronised by a unique central gearing system that ensures they are intertwined. It's enough to keep all visitors to Parc Asterix on their toes. From below, spectators will be mesmerised by the 4 spinning pods and the ingenious system of rotating gears!

Because giving glory to Toutatis can be exhausting, the restaurant Au Dolmen Gourmand opens its doors to warriors in search of burgers and beers! Rendez-vous then at Au Dolmen Sucré to finish off your feast with a sweet treat. A new gift shop has been set up in the heart of the zone to help you admire your photo of a challenge successfully accomplished on the Toutatis attraction. Surrounded by a rugged decoration made of wood and menhirs, exclusive clothing and accessories await you.
