The Val d'Europe sector around Disneyland Paris is a very dynamic and constantly evolving sector. Many buildings, apartments, houses but also schools, shops, concert halls and even a marina in Coupvray are being built. An ambition to expand on the part of the towns of the community of communes of Val d'Europe well assumed. Their objective is to go from a community of communes welcoming 25,000 inhabitants to more than 60,000 within a few years. This dynamic and rapidly developing area not only attracts millions of visitors each year to one of the largest amusement parks in Europe, which continues to expand with the upcoming opening of a new park, but also offers a great opportunity for property owners to generate significant income by attracting travelers from all over the world.
Here are 7 reasons why short-term rentals in this region are a great idea for homeowners.
1. Continued and growing tourism demand
Disneyland Paris attracts more than 15 million visitors from around the world each year and is one of the main tourist destinations in Europe. The ambition of Disneyland Paris is no less affirmed than that of the Val d'Europe community since the park plans to build a new park on the theme of Frozen, accompanied by the shops, restaurants and hotels which generally accompany the new DisneyLand Paris parks and will bring an additional flow of new travelers to the sector.
Even if the traditional hotel sector in the Val d'Europe sector remains very attractive, families, groups of friends and even solo travelers often look for other alternatives, favoring more spacious and comfortable accommodation.
The AirBnB seasonal rental offer is therefore on the rise in this region. Your seasonal rental will therefore have no trouble benefiting from regular and constant demand throughout the year. Whether it’s school holidays, special events like Halloween or Christmas, or simple long weekends, the demand is always there. Add to this a new convention center under construction, a marina and even performance halls, and Val d'Europe is positioning itself as one of the flagship destinations in France and Europe.
Thus, the towns of Chessy, Serris, Magny-Le-Hongre, Bailly-Romainvilliers, Montévrain, Chanteloup-En-Brie, Bussy-Saint-Georges, Chalifert, Coupvray, Esbly and Jossigny benefit from the mass tourism brought by the Disneyland Paris park.
2. Short-term rental around Val d'Europe guarantees constant and especially high income in high season
As stated above, you will not have to fear a filling rate that is too low. Your accommodation will remain constantly reserved, which ensures you constant income each month.
But unlike a traditional rental, seasonal or short-term rental allows you to adjust prices according to local events, the season or even demand.
During these periods of high season, school holidays, special events in the towns or at Disneyland park, prices can increase considerably.
The price of the night can sometimes go from single to double, guaranteeing owners much higher income than usual by adjusting the rates according to the number of visitors.
To give you a few examples, during Halloween or New Year celebrations, during shows or concerts organized in the city or even festivals, visitors flock massively to the towns of Val d'Europe and Disneyland Paris to attend grandiose shows and events. Your income will also be great.
3. An activity that guarantees you unique flexibility
Unlike traditional rental, short-term rental offers certain advantages. Flexibility that traditional rental cannot offer.
Maintenance work to be carried out? Need a change of scenery and return to your home?
Block out the dates you need or need to book when you want.
Traditional long-term leases do not allow you this type of arrangement or planning, you are constantly constrained by the tenant in place for several months or even years.
Short-term rental allows you to remain in control of your property by adjusting your availability according to your needs, desires or preferences.
You can therefore enjoy your accommodation whenever you want.
4. Optimized profitability thanks to the proximity of Disneyland
For a successful short-term rental, the first and most important criterion is location. For this, the Val d'Europe sector and the proximity to the DisneyLand Paris park are ideal and prove to be a very big advantage to exploit.
Travelers traveling near tourist places like this seek proximity above all, in order to reduce travel costs as much as possible and allow them to concentrate on their stay. By offering your accommodation a few minutes from DisneyLand Paris, you guarantee an above-average occupancy rate throughout the year. And therefore significant income at the same time.
In addition, thanks to the dynamism of the sector, the diversity of traveler profiles is great (families, tourists, business travelers, etc.) and allows you to reach a wide audience.

As we saw briefly during the introduction above, the community of Val d'Europe, which is located around Disneyland Paris and made up of the towns of Chessy, Serris, Magny-Le-Hongre, Bailly-Romainvilliers, Montévrain, Chanteloup-En-Brie and Bussy-Saint-Georges, is experiencing rapid expansion, with numerous infrastructure projects in progress and to come:

the construction of a “La Fabrique” activity center hosting 2,915m² of office space, 1,400m² of shops and a brewery. It will open its doors at the end of 2025
the construction of a “West Park” business park welcoming international companies with premium services. 17,000m² of business premises, offices and showrooms.
The area also hosts leading shopping centers, such as La Vallée Village and starred restaurants.
