Disneyland Paris, normally Europe's biggest tourist attraction, will from Saturday host a mass Covid vaccination site at its convention centre as France seeks to speed up its inoculation drive, officials have said.

The amusement park east of the capital has been closed since October 30, 2020, when non-essential businesses were ordered to close amid a surge in infections, putting its 17,000 employees out of work.

The vaccination site will be housed outside the amusement park proper at its Newport Bay Club, a convention centre near its hotel complex, according to an AFP report.

It will be run by local authorities and the regional ARS health service and will be open on weekends only, whereas other French vaccination sites often close on Sunday.
