A major €6 billion (£5.13 billion) theme park complex is set to rise near Paris through a landmark agreement between France and Saudi Arabia.
The ambitious development will feature three distinct theme parks, including a centerpiece manga-themed attraction reportedly inspired by the iconic Japanese series Dragon Ball Z.
French President Emmanuel Macron described the initiative as unprecedented in scope, likening its impact to that of Disneyland Paris, while also expressing his personal enthusiasm for manga culture.
Although no official opening timeline has been announced by the Élysée Palace, planners indicate the resort—located near Cergy-Pontoise—will debut in phases over several years.
The project received final approval during Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s two-day state visit to France. According to presidential advisers, the collaboration originated from conversations between Macron and bin Salman about their mutual appreciation for Japanese comics, particularly Dragon Ball Z.
