Villages Nature is a project jointly designed and constructed by the Euro Disney S.C.A. (“Euro Disney”) and Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs groups (Paris:VAC). Their objective is to make Villages Nature a major European ecotourism destination. The two partners have agreed to transfer the commercial and operational management of Villages Nature, by mandate, to a subsidiary of Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs.

Euro Disney and Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs have complementary expertise, which have served as the foundation of their joint-venture partnership since its beginning. The governance of this partnership remains unchanged.

Euro Disney provides Villages Nature with its creativity, its art of storytelling, and its unrivaled expertise in theme park and hotel development as well as its knowledge of European tourism markets in terms of quality of the experience and stay.

Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs is the leader in the European holiday market, and the inventor of residence tourism. The Group is a specialist in real estate design, development, and sale, as well as in tourism commercialization, and the management of this type of destination. It will bring its expertise in these areas and its knowledge of distribution networks for the Center Parcs brand to Villages Nature.

The first construction phase of the Villages Nature project includes 916 cottages and apartments with a capacity of 4,500 holiday-goers, and will be completed and operational in summer 2017.

To achieve greater operational efficiency and wider distribution, the tourism management of Villages Nature will be transferred to a subsidiary of Pierre & Vacances under the framework of a mandate granted by the operating company of Villages Nature.

"Villages Nature is an exciting and innovative project at the heart of eco-tourism. We are working closely with our partners, Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs, each of us contributing our respective expertise in tourism and development, to harness the growing importance of sustainable tourism and make Villages Nature the top eco-tourism destination in the region” said Catherine Powell, Présidente of Euro Disney S.A.S.

“We are more confident than ever before that Villages Nature will attract enormous interest from across Europe, thanks to its location, its innovative concept, and the formidable expertise of its two shareholders. The Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs teams are enthusiastic and ready to lead the commercial and operational management of Villages Nature,” said Gérard Brémond, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs Group.
