After many obstacles and amount of use, Center Park of Roybon will not see the light of day. The Pierre & Vacances group announced on Wednesday the termination of its domain project in Center Parcs in Roybon (Isère), blocked by multiple appeals and protracted court proceedings since its launch in 2007, where the field was occupied by “Zadists”.
The project, in the amount of 390 million euros, plans to build a thousand cottages, shops and restaurants around a swimming pool in the Chambaran forest, in the form of a transparent bubble maintained at 29 degrees with pools, slides and jacuzzis.
“For more than ten years, court proceedings, contesting administrative authorizations have been an obstacle to the realization of the project. The permit for clearing the land, which is necessary for its realization, is out of date, and access to the construction site has been prevented by the ‘zadis’ who have illegally occupied the land since 2014, Center Parcs decided withdraw from this project,” the group said in a statement.

legal remedies since 2010
Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs, which insists on its “commitment to responsible and sustainable tourism”, highlights the fact that the project area “has received the constant support of all local authorities for its environmental qualities, advantages in terms of jobs and income, and its ability to revitalize and rebalance the territory.”

“This is not for the faint of heart,” commented Gérard Brémond, founder and chairman of Pierre et Vacances, which currently has 25 Center Parks in Europe, consisting of cottages immersed in forested areas. “But it was at a dead end, it became hopeless between the occupation of the site, changes in regulations, authority for building permits, land clearing, water laws, species conservation and the slowness of justice at various stages, the appeals court, the administrative court, the State Council. Everything is it put many, it was endless,” he summarized.
The complaints of the opponents of the project – mainly associations for the defense of nature and the protection of the aquatic environment – have been going on since 2010, in which the failures and victories of Centra Parcs alternate.
other projects
Since 2014, the field has also become a “defence zone” (ZAD), occupied by militants. “We think it is better to reserve our resources, intellectual and financial, for other developments, you can succeed very well when the context is not hostile”, emphasized Gérard Brémond. The Pierre et Vacances group will “confirm” the development of its other projects for Center Parcs on Wednesday.
for example, in Europe, two new areas are being explored in northern Germany and Bavaria, and two other sites in the Berlin region are subject to “commitment to negotiations and studies”. “The first project in Denmark is in the process of finalizing the design, and two additional projects in Scandinavia have been identified,” the statement said. These projects are accompanied by a plan to restore the existing areas, “with an investment envelope of almost 400 million euros financed by the owners”.
“No impact on cash”
In Hexagon, the Landes de Gascogne (Lot-et-Garonne) region must open its doors in the spring of 2022. “The project has been very well received and supported by local authorities as well as by residents and environmental actors,” says the group.
Three other projects are still being challenged in court or are subject to local disputes: the expansion of the existing Bois-Francs area (Eure), the Poligny project (Jura), which is the subject of an appeal before the courts against the local development plan, and the Rousset project (Saône-et- Loire), for which “we are conducting a dialogue and in the autumn we will make proposals on the improvements it brings”, according to Gérard Brémond. The CEO does not code the shortfall associated with the abandonment of the Roybon project, but insists on the fact that “it will not have a cash impact on the group”.
