An interesting story as Asterix and Obelix travel Gaul to get the best food it has to offer. The usual mix of fights, puns and a bit of latin thrown in for free.
A very good entry in the series as Asterix and Obelix journey around France in defiance of the Romans barricade around their village. This book is particularly funny if you are familiar with France and its various regions, as many of the stereotypes of regional France are gently poked fun at in this book - although the story can be equally enjoyed by those who know nothing of France. And by the end, Obelix has found a little companion for a friend.
The Romans have surrounding the Gaulish village. Asterix makes a bet with their commander that he can get out, and take a tour de France, to retrieve a delicacy from each region, for a big banquet.
They will invite the commander to join them, as proof of victory. Any form of transport will do, even if Obelix has to carry a horse. No bikes to be seen though!
