Getting to Parc Astérix from Paris or CDG: the guide
35 km north of Paris and right next to CDG: how to reach the park with no shuttle or changes.
Updated 4 November 2026 · 2 min read
Parc Astérix is in Plailly, in the Oise, about 35 km north of Paris on the A1 and around fifteen minutes from CDG airport.
Getting there
- Public transport: RER B to CDG airport, then a shuttle to the park. Doable, but slow with children and tied to the shuttle timetable.
- Taxi van: 40 minutes to 1 hour from Paris depending on traffic, straight to the park entrance. See our Parc Astérix taxi van.
A smart arrival or departure plan
Since the park is so close to CDG, many families schedule it on their arrival or departure day: airport → park, a day at the park, then park → Paris hotel. Luggage stays in the van or is dropped at the hotel, depending on the option.
Tips for the day
- The park is open seasonally (spring to early autumn, plus Halloween and a few winter dates): check the calendar before booking.
- Buy tickets online, often cheaper than at the gate.
- Arrive at opening time to ride the big attractions before the queues build.
- Check minimum heights for the rides if you have young children.
With the family
A 7-seater van takes the whole family with a buggy and free baby seats. For a group of friends or a club outing, the 8-seater minibus.
