# France and Saudi Arabia Sign Deal for Three Paris Theme Parks

*A €6 billion Saudi investment aims to create 22,000 jobs with parks including a manga-themed attraction.*

**Scores for the source reporting** (0-100, assessing the original journalism this article was written from, not this write-up): 

- Trust 42 of 100, higher is better. Central claim attributed to named bodies, with figures and locations specified, but relies on anonymous sourcing for job creation.
- Craft 61 of 100, higher is better. Reporting is clear, fact from comment is separate, and it states what happens next or what is unknown.
- Hype 41 of 100, lower is better. Headlines promise a specific theme park, but the body of the report indicates one of three parks will be manga-themed.

**The short version**

- France and Saudi Arabia have signed a memorandum of understanding for a €6 billion Saudi investment to develop three theme parks near Paris.
- The project is expected to generate 22,000 direct jobs, a figure comparable to Disneyland Paris.
- One of the planned parks will be manga-themed, with a specific mention of Dragon Ball Z.
- The investment will be managed by Qiddiya, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund.

France and Saudi Arabia have signed a memorandum of understanding for a six-billion-euro Saudi investment to create three theme parks near Paris. The agreement was announced on Monday by the office of French President Emmanuel Macron following a visit by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The project is expected to create 22,000 direct jobs, according to the French presidency.

The theme parks will be located near Cergy-Pontoise, approximately 30 kilometres northwest of Paris. One of the parks is planned to be manga-themed, with a specific mention of Dragon Ball Z, stemming from a shared passion for manga discovered by Macron and bin Salman. The themes for the other two parks have not yet been disclosed. The project will be led by the investment firm Qiddiya, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. Construction is expected to occur in stages over several years.

## Disagreement on Investment Figure

While the memorandum of understanding specifies a six-billion-euro investment, some reports stated the figure as $7 billion. Hindustan Times, Deadline, Bloomberg, WTVB, and News Wire reported the investment as $7 billion. El Pais, Digi 24, midilibre.fr, Le Monde, El Periódico, La Dépêche du Midi, Le Télégramme, informacion.es, and France24 reported the investment as €6 billion. Several other outlets reported billions without specifying the currency or exact amount.

## What the coverage left out

None of the left-rated digests mention the specific details of other business agreements signed between France and Saudi Arabia during Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit, such as those with CMA CGM for port development or Alstom for metro carriages, which were reported by Hindustan Times.

## Who covered it

Shares of the 42 covering outlets with a published leaning rating:

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- Left-rated reports highlighted the scale of the project, with headlines such as "'Never Seen Since Disneyland Paris': Macron Announces Three Amusement Parks in Ile-De-France, Financed by Saudi Arabia" (Liberation) and "'Dragon Ball Z' Will Have a Theme Park Near Paris" (La Vanguardia). These reports noted the €6 billion investment and the creation of 22,000 direct jobs. El Pais mentioned that the French president received Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salmán on an official visit, concluding several business agreements with companies like Aramco or Alstom. Zeit Online noted the shared passion for Dragon Ball between Macron and bin Salman as the inspiration for the park.

### Centre

- Centre-rated reports focused on the financial and job creation aspects of the deal. Headlines included "EUR 6 Billion and 22,000 Potential Jobs: the Health Project to Build Three Amusement Parks in France" (Digi 24) and "Near Paris, Saudi Arabia Will Finance Three Amusement Parks" (France24). Hindustan Times reported the investment as $7 billion and mentioned the comparison to Disneyland Paris's job creation. Bloomberg's headline, "MBS and Macron’s Love of Manga Brings $7 Billion Theme Park Deal", linked the investment to the shared interest in manga. Le Télégramme framed the event as "The Realpolitik Has Taken over: 'MBS', the Unmissable Saudi Prince, Welcomed to France", noting bin Salman's state visit.

### Right

- Right-rated reports often focused on the investment and the partnership aspect. Headlines included "Saudi Arabia to Invest Billions in French Theme Parks" (Berlingske, BT, and Globo). Anadolu Ajansı's headline focused on broader agreements: "Saudi Arabia, France sign agreements to boost cooperation, defense partnership". La Razón's headline stated, "The Saudi Crown Prince Thanks Macron for His Support with an Investment of 6 Billion Euros in a Leisure Project in Paris", highlighting the prince's gratitude. Gulf News reported the $7 billion investment and the job creation figures.

## Questions

**What is the total value of the Saudi investment in the theme parks?**

France and Saudi Arabia have signed a memorandum of understanding for a six-billion-euro investment. Some reports stated this figure as $7 billion, though the official agreement specifies euros.

**How many jobs are expected to be created by this project?**

The project is expected to create 22,000 direct jobs. This figure is comparable to the approximately 20,000 jobs generated by Disneyland Paris.

**What kind of theme park will be built?**

Three theme parks are planned near Paris. One of them is expected to be manga-themed, with a specific mention of Dragon Ball Z, inspired by a shared interest between the French president and the Saudi Crown Prince.
