Dragon Ball-inspired theme park to be built near Paris
The construction of three new parks was given the green light after a €6bn investment from Saudi Arabia.
French President Emmanuel Macron unveiled a €6 billion investment from Saudi Arabia to build three theme parks in Cergy-Pontoise, northwest of Paris, hailed as the most significant development of its kind in France since Disneyland Paris. The ambitious project, backed by Saudi Arabia's Qiddiya, aims to generate 22,000 jobs and establish a new global entertainment hub in France.
"An extraordinary announcement," Macron declared on X, praising the Saudi partnership for its confidence in France's talent and economic future. The investment, part of the "Choose France" initiative, will fund a Dragon Ball-themed park among others, showcasing France's appeal for ambitious global ventures. This follows a visit by Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, strengthening economic ties between the two nations.
