Meet Getafix at Parc Astérix
Getafix featured in the very first Asterix comic book Asterix the Gaul, published in 1961, and alongside Asterix and Obelix, is one of the main characters created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. Equally loved by parents and their kids, he’ll always be happy to share his secrets with you, so make sure you go and say hello. Whether you’re at an attraction or in the Gaulish Village, he’s easy to spot with his long white beard.
Looking for Getafix at Parc Astérix
Getafix is a very old and powerful druid whose beard never stops growing, and who never goes anywhere without his staff. He is responsible for preparing Asterix’s famous magic potion. He is also a bit of a philosopher and the Gaulish village’s wise man.
He has been included in all of the Asterix and Obelix adventures and the villagers often seek his valuable advice. Although no one knows his age (he was already quite old when Asterix and Obelix were born), Getafix’s great-grandfather, Mathusalix, is also a druid, and is nearly 200 years old.
