New sustainable resort concept from EuroDisney
Euro Disney and Groupe Pierre & Vacances Center Parcs have unveiled Les Villages Nature de Val d'Europe (Villages Nature), their new sustainable vacation destination concept.
Central to the concept - which envisages 90 per cent of the resort retained as green space - is 'harmony between man and nature', reflected in both the accommodation and the activities offered. The latter would focus on gardening, boating, hiking, horseriding and walking.
The site will be 6km (3.7 miles) south of Disneyland Paris and created around a 3,500sq m (37,670sq ft) geothermal lagoon. An adjacent waterpark is planned to be the largest in Europe. The first 175 hectare (432.4 acres) phase is set to open in 2015 and will include the construction of 1,730 apartments or cottages within three villages - two of them around the lake and one in a nearby forest. A total of 70,000sq m (753,400sq ft) of indoor and outdoor leisure facilities is also planned.
Construction of the resort - occupying up to 500 hectares (1,236 acres) and developed over 20 years - would adhere to a Sustainable Action Plan of key targets aimed at reducing its eco-footprint as much as possible. Among these are zero carbon and waste; sustainable water and transportation; local and sustainable materials and food products; and natural habitats and wildlife.
