Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund has signed a 6 billion euro deal with France to build three theme parks near Paris, including one based on Dragon Ball. Macron says nothing like it has been seen since Disneyland Paris, with over 20,000 jobs expected at Cergy-Pontoise. The idea reportedly began when Macron and Mohammed bin Salman discovered a shared love of manga in Riyadh in 2024.
