Enjoy a feast of culture and combine a visit to both these fine Chateaux located about an hour drive south of Disneyland® Paris. At Chateau de Fontainebleau, visit behind the scenes of the history of France! No other palace in France offers such a wealth and variety of decors, a remarkable royal residence, which has preserved all its period furniture. Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte, a 17th century masterpiece and residence of the superintendent of finances under Louis XIV, was looked upon with envy by the king and provided the inspiration for the building of Versailles. For an extra special visit, most Saturday evenings between May and October, the Chateau and its gardens are lit by thousands of candles.

Enjoy an excursion to the French capital, where you can enjoy a large number of theme based programmes - art, region, history, music and cultural interest. Many trips can include a cruise along the Seine and a visit up the Eiffel Tower plus time to catch the atmosphere of Notre Dame or simply take an hop-on, hop-off open-top bus ride to see the capital's finest monuments and districts at your leisure. Why not consider an evening tour with river cruise to see the bright city lights or maybe for a special treat enjoy a top Parisian cabaret show at the Moulin Rouge, Lido or Crazy Horse. Paris is accessible direct from Disneyland by RER train in about 40 minutes or alternatively we can organise a private coach direct from your Disney hotel.

This cat or feline park is the only European park dedicated to the feline family and is home to over 150 rare species, including Kruger Lions, White Tigers, the Sri Lankan or Amur Leopards, Sand Cats and many more which you can admire in complete safety.

New editions include a colony of baby lemurs which live on the park's island and a tourist train that takes you on a journey through the park.

2010, the year for all challenges. The 5 trials of Defi de Cesar, the 900 metres of the Trace du Hourra slide, the 7 loops of Goudurix, the 50 mph slopes of the Tonnerre de Zeus, the dizzying drop of the Menhir Express... These are just a few of the challenges Parc Asterix throws at its visitors every day. But the most Gaulish of theme parks never rests on its laurels... In 2010, new challenges await, more impressive and fantastic than anything imaginable.
