Parc Astérix to Open in Germany Through Belantis Conversion by 2030/31

The plan is unveiled alongside record annual results, underscoring a multi‑year investment push across the group.

Overview

  • La Compagnie des Alpes will transform the Belantis park near Leipzig into the first Parc Astérix outside France through a phased redevelopment.
  • Full rebranding is targeted for 2030/2031, with the first Idéfix-themed family zone scheduled to open in March 2026.
  • The site spans more than 80 hectares, including a 41‑hectare development reserve, and is projected to reach roughly 900,000 visitors annually at maturity.
  • The company cites motorway access from Leipzig and proximity to Dresden and Berlin as key location advantages.
  • Germany’s status as the No. 2 market for both Astérix comics and European leisure parks underpins the move, announced alongside 2024/25 record results of €1.4 billion in revenue and €107 million in net profit.
