We tested “Attention Menhir! », the new 4D attraction at Parc Astérix

Inaugurated on April 27 on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Parc Astérix by Clovis Cornillac and Nicolas Kremer, General Manager of the Park, “Attention Menhir! is a multi-sensory attraction that takes us to the heart of the Carnutes forest. After a passage in the camp of Babaorum – the waiting room of the attraction where we learn that the Centurion Peupaplus was commissioned by Caesar to capture the druid Panoramix and deprive the Gauls of the famous magic potion – we take our place on its dynamic seat. Various smells, splashing water, flashes of light, breath and tremors:the special effects appeal to all our senses to accompany this unprecedented story with multiple twists. Will Panoramix manage to escape the attack of the Romans and the spectator to the fall of menhirs? The illusion is striking, especially for the little ones! More than 200 people (France, Canada, Italy and Belgium) worked on the production and production of this 10-minute film (plus 10 minutes of pre-show) screened in a brand new 300-seat theater. Other novelties are to be discovered throughout the season, such as the Chronos show at the Panoramix theater which combines magic and great illusions, the Défilé Gaulois with all the emblematic characters of the Park or the Banquet Gaulois from July 13 to August 18. 2019.

Good plan:sleep on site to get to the attractions first, for example La Cité Suspendue, a cozy all-wooden hotel in the heart of the forest. Quiet night guaranteed!
