Kids Books about Paris

If there is a quick way to understand French, it’s by reading the “Asterix and Obelix” world famous comic strip.

It gives an excellent idea of how the French see themselves: the whole world is against them but they do not care !

In a small village, totally surrounded, with the whole world against them and particularly the powerful Romans, they have fun eating, singing and drinking, and making Romans afraid.

To fight the enemy, they get the strength from the magic potion made by their druid Panoramix.

Near Charles-de-Gaulle airport, the "Parc Asterix" is a theme park devoted to these characters : it is smaller and less spectacular than Euro Disney but not bad at all.
