- La Rivière d’Elis or Epidemais Croisière and Hydrolix for the youngest visitors.
Also, there is La Revanche des Pirates, the successful re-theming of Le Grand Splatch, for an immersion into the world of the Pirates.
Thrilling shows for visitors of all ages
Throughout the summer, the park’s cult shows will be on hand to liven up visitors’ days and nights:

Meanwhile, the Gaulish Parade is a travelling show featuring Asterix, Obelix, Idéfix and all the tribe, which will be bringing the park’s walkways to life.
