Designed by the Euro Disney S.C.A. and Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs Groups and based on the quest for harmony between Man and Nature, Villages Nature, located near Disneyland Paris, is Europe’s leading ecotourism destination.
It integrates the application of the most advanced sustainable development standards into its concept and its operation, primarily due to the use of a local source of renewable energy: the deep (1,600 m) geothermal energy of the Dogger aquifer of the Ile-de-France region, which will meet 100% of the site’s heating requirements.
The Aqualagon is one of the largest covered aquatic spaces in Europe. Designed by Jacques Ferrier, its origami structure is embellished with glass. The interior space opens onto a lagoon. The Aqualagon won the A+ popular choice award for best architectural project in its category in the 2017 Architizer international architecture competition. Its use of geothermal energy, with water at 30°C, means that the Aqualagon and the outside lagoon can be used for bathing throughout the year.
