Looking for Vitalstatistix at Parc Astérix
Son of the former chief of the Gaulish village, Vitalstatistix’s main distinguishing features are his build, braids and long moustache. But more importantly, he is always carried around on his shield (when his shield bearers are willing to perform this task). This very symbolic shield is said to have belonged to the famous Vercingetorix.
Although he tries to command respect, people don’t always listen to him, and as everyone in the Gaulish village knows, at home, it’s Vitalstatistix’s wife who’s in charge!
