For the honour of Gaul, Asterix and Obelix help Lutetia (ancient Paris) win the chance to host the ancient Olympic Games by acting as security for the event. Asterix helps a tiny anthropomorphic personification of Spring overcome Winter. Some unlucky Romans try to take Dogmatix as their "lucky" mascot, and are later defeated by him.

Belgian Comic Strip Center "Tintin". Each artist has a room dedicated to his work and designed in a playful way. The final floor is dedicated to the merchandising of comics and available for provisional exhibitions. Four artists exhibited are Flemish: Willy Vandersteen, Marc Sleen, Bob de Moor and Morris. The rest are Walloon, except for Jacques Martin and Tibet who were born in France, but published in "Tintin". Since 2009, directly across the Belgian comics museum, in the same street, another comics-themed museum can be found, the "Marc Sleen Museum", dedicated to the work of Marc Sleen.
