Montpellier on the Mediterranean Coast. The Aqualand group actually
consists of seven Aqualand themeparks. Six are located at various
points along the Mediterranean Coast and one on the Atlantic near
Bordeaux.
Parc Asterix
northwest of Paris is a must for fans of Asterix and Obelix. It
is on a par with Dreamworld and has several very good rides and
is a great family outing. Parc Asterix is 30 km north of Paris off
the A1 Autoroute to Lille. You can take the Metro to Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle
Airport (Terminal 1) and from there a free shuttle to the park.
These are the better known themeparks, but there are many more.
