Festyland Achieves Sustainable Certification, Elevating Amusement Park Standards in France

Festyland, an amusement park near Caen, has recently become the third amusement park in France awarded the prestigious 'Label Divertissement Durable – L’émotion responsable' certification. This accolade, announced on July 21, 2025, recognizes the park's ongoing commitment to sustainable practices and social responsibility, placing it among 19 sites in France, following in the footsteps of renowned parks like Puy du Fou and Vulcania.

In 2024, Festyland celebrated its 35th anniversary with a record attendance of 250,000 visitors, showcasing its growing popularity. The sustainability label assesses parks based on their efforts in environmental stewardship and social initiatives. Festyland's commitment to responsible values has been a long-term strategy, focusing on inclusivity in its employment practices and enhancing local biodiversity through the planting of shrubs and preserving shaded areas.

Additionally, the park prioritizes local economic support by sourcing 80% of its food from nearby producers, thereby fostering short supply chains and enabling local farmers to price their goods fairly. As stated by Alexandre Lair, a representative of Festyland, the park aims to cultivate more greenery on-site, enhancing the natural landscape of the area. The certification reflects not just an end goal but an ongoing journey towards greater environmental accountability and community engagement.
