France and Saudi Arabia have reached an agreement to establish three theme parks near Paris, with one park dedicated to the popular manga and anime series, Dragon Ball. French President Emmanuel Macron, who met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, announced the unprecedented project, describing it as a scale not seen since Disneyland Paris.
Macron, a fan of manga, emphasized his commitment to attracting investment to France that creates jobs and achieves ambitious projects. The Cergy-Pontoise park, located northwest of Paris, is expected to cost 6 billion euros ($7 billion) and generate around 22,000 jobs. Both leaders expressed their shared enthusiasm for Dragon Ball, which originated as a manga comic series from 1984 to 1995, followed by various anime series, films, and extensive merchandise.
Toei Animation Co. announced the construction of the world's first Dragon Ball theme park in Saudi Arabia in 2024.
