Les Petites Chaises Volantes, Flying chair ride in Parc Astérix, Plailly, France.
Les Petites Chaises Volantes is a flying chair carousel at Parc Astérix where suspended seats swing outward as the ride spins. The motion lifts riders gently into the air in a slow, steady movement that lasts several minutes.
The ride was installed during Parc Astérix's early years as part of its family-focused attractions. It draws from a long tradition of flying chair carousels that have been popular in European amusement parks for decades.
This ride gives visitors of all ages a taste of classic fairground fun, drawing families together for a shared moment above the park.
There is a height requirement of about 80 cm (31 inches); younger children should have an adult nearby. The ride operates daily from morning through evening, with exact hours varying by season.
As the chairs slowly rotate and rise, musical accompaniment plays and visitors get views across different parts of the park. These small details make the experience feel gentler than faster rides.
