Press Release: Marriott International, Inc.
June 17, 2003
ORLANDO, FL -- Marriott Vacation Club International and Euro Disney SCA announced the opening of Marriott's first
vacation ownership resort in France, Marriott's Village d'Ile-de-France at Disneyland® Resort Paris.
Set in the countryside of the scenic Marne-la-Vallee region, 20 miles east of Paris, this Marriott property offers
access to the adjacent Disney® Parks and Golf Disneyland®, a golf course designed by Ronald Fream.
Creating the atmosphere of a quaint French country village, the resort will be built in six distinct town home
phases, each inspired by the rural residences of French Impressionist painters. The resort's first 44 town home
phase is modeled after Monet's Giverny country home and gardens. In the heart of the village lies a charming Town
Square with a flower shop and bakery, and an indoor pool reminiscent of a late 19th century crystal greenhouse.
Upon completion, Marriott's Village d'Ile-de-France at Disneyland® Resort Paris will contain 190 two-bedroom/two-bath
town houses, each with 1,130 square feet (101.7 square meters) of living area for six guests. Features include
master suites with oversized tubs, spacious living and dining areas, fully equipped kitchens, washer/dryers and
patios with golf course views.
Pre-construction sales for Marriott's Village d'Ile-de-France commenced April 2002. Current prices range from $13,900
to $28,300 per week of ownership. Town houses are also offered for nightly rentals, subject to availability.
