Disneyland Paris is situated between the Parisian suburbs and the small town of Meaux on the River Marne, some 30kms east of Paris city centre. Since it opened in 1992, it has brought the magic of Disney to millions of people across Europe and beyond, as well as opportunities for French property owners in the area to realise year-round income from tourists looking to stay in self catering accommodation close by to the resort.
Every year more than 50 million people visit Disneyland Paris. Many visitors choose to stay in rental accommodation, enabling them to extend their visit to the park for more than one day. Accommodation choices in the area include hotels in the Disney complex, hotels / guest houses in Paris itself or in the surrounding areas, and self-catering accommodation within a small radius of the Resort.
Lagny-sur-Marne, a five-minute drive away from Disneyland on the Paris-side of the Resort, is an affluent medieval town that straddles the Marne. Here, prospective Disneyland Paris property buyers will find a wealth of French property suitable for buy-to-let purposes. Prices are reasonable too - and overall much cheaper than similar property in Paris itself. A 3-bed apartment near the centre of Lagny-sur-Marne can be acquired for only 180,000 euros.
Across the river in Thorigny-sur-Marne, property is slightly more expensive. Still, a 2-bed villa in France could be yours for around 220,000 euros here - not bad when you consider that a 2-bed villa in one of the nearby Parisian districts will carry a 30,000 to 50,000 euros premium. Other areas in which to consider buying Disneyland Paris property are in the villages of Bailly Romainvilliers, Villeneuve le Comte and Villeneuve st Denis, all of which are within a 5-10 minute drive of the Disneyland Resort.
