Visitors find themselves immersed in a world where every nook of the space seems to bring to life the characters immortalized by Uderzo and Goscinny.

A captivating narrative adventure

At the heart of this immersive journey, visitors follow Astérix and Obélix on a thrilling quest to find Panoramix, the druid they desperately need to concoct the famous magic potion. Through projections that evoke the mechanisms of an animated comic strip, the story unfolds in a fluid and engaging manner, allowing spectators to explore various landscapes, ranging from ancient Rome to pharaonic Egypt.

An explosion of colors and sounds

The multisensory dimension of the exhibition is enhanced by an immersive soundtrack that accompanies each projected scene. The sound effects, crafted with care, play a crucial role: the thunder of storms resonates even through the floor, eliciting awe and laughter from children. Sophisticated sound techniques allow for precise localization, making the experience even more immersive. Thus, when the bard Assurancetourix starts to sing, visitors cannot help but laugh and react, as if they were really present alongside the Gallic heroes.

A meticulous creation process

The realization of this exhibition required a considerable investment of time and resources. With a dedicated team that worked for a year, the Atelier des Lumières collaborated with Éditions Albert René to bring this adventure to life. Experts meticulously scanned each panel of the albums in high definition to ensure that the essence and style of Uderzo were faithfully reproduced. The descendants of the creators of Astérix also participated in this project, bringing a respectful and enlightened perspective on the legacy of the characters.
