French President Emmanuel Macron has unveiled a joint Saudi-French venture to construct three theme parks near Paris, with a €6 billion investment and the creation of 22,000 jobs. The project, in partnership with Qiddiya Investment Company, aims to establish a world-class entertainment destination in the Cergy-Pontoise area. This marks the first theme park project of this scale since Disneyland Paris opened, according to Macron.
The initiative signals a collaborative effort between France and Saudi Arabia in the theme park sector. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, during his state visit to France, attended the project announcement at Hôtel des Invalides in Paris. He was welcomed by French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and received ceremonial honors, including the playing of both the Saudi royal anthem and the French national anthem.
