Mirapolis : l’Elysée et l’Arabie saoudite officialisent un investissement à six milliards
Trois parcs d'attractions vont sortir de terre sur le site de l'ancien parc à thème de Mirapolis.
Paris — Mirapolis, a former amusement park in the Yvelines region, is set to be resurrected with a six billion euro investment from Saudi Arabia. On the heels of POLITICO's revelations on the project, French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman signed an agreement on Monday to fund this massive undertaking.
The investment aims to create 22,000 jobs and encompasses the development of three theme parks, accommodations, dining establishments, and 50,000 square meters of green spaces dedicated to biodiversity. Emmanuel Macron praised the initiative as "out of the ordinary" and a "never-before-seen" project, comparing it to Disneyland Paris.
The project seeks to revitalize the site of the defunct Mirapolis, which closed in 1991, and promises to be an environmentally exemplary venture while serving as a catalyst for both the local and French tourism industries. The agreement was signed by Economy Minister Roland Lescure and the Director General of Qiddiya Investment Company, a subsidiary of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, in the presence of both leaders. However, no specific timeline for the realization of this ambitious plan has been disclosed at this point.
