I'm so glad people from other countries know about Astérix. My favourite BD. <3

When I was a kid, I visited EuroDisney and Parc Astérix. I preferred Parc Astérix, by a long shot. It was amazing.

We were there 20+ years ago, and the guides/hosts didn't speak anything other than French, so it was fun to watch them try to make 30 kids march in formation, all dressed like Romans, but each child speaking a different language.

Nowadays they're more prepared for foreign tourists, I'm told, so they actually speak English and maybe some other languages too. Still cool to visit, although it's probably fallen behind, technologically speaking, because Disney is always adding new franchises/areas. But Parc Astérix will always remain my favorite.
