Following the vandalism committed in thousands of shops across France, the Government is implementing a package of economic measures designed to support the affected businesses.

In a press release, it specifies that these measures are aimed in particular at preserving employment, bolstering the cash flow of professionals, and facilitating the restart of their activity.

The affected companies will be able to benefit from an exceptional partial activity scheme, entirely borne by the State, with no cost to employers. The employees concerned will receive an indemnity corresponding to 60% of their gross remuneration, or 100% for workers paid at the SMIC.

The companies will also be able to request Urssaf to postpone up to 12 months the payment of employer contributions for the next three months. Tax facilities are also planned, including extended payment deadlines and the acceleration of the reimbursement of certain receivables.


Des aides pour soutenir la trésorerie

Bpifrance proposera, à la demande du Gouvernement, un prêt à taux zéro pouvant atteindre 50 000 euros sur trois ans. Les chambres de métiers et de l’artisanat (CMA) ont, de leur côté, activé leur fonds de solidarité, qui prévoit une aide d’urgence pouvant aller jusqu’à 1 500 euros.

Le Gouvernement annonce également la mise en place d’un fonds de soutien spécifique pour les entreprises de moins de 50 salariés ayant subi des dommages importants et une perte d’activité. Le montant de l’aide sera calculé en fonction du chiffre d’affaires, dans la limite de plafonds par entreprise.

Enfin, les assureurs ont annoncé des mesures d’accompagnement, dont un délai de déclaration porté à 30 jours et le versement d’acomptes immédiats. Les entreprises en difficulté peuvent contacter le numéro non surtaxé 0 806 807 807 pour obtenir des informations sur les dispositifs disponibles.

La Région Grand Est va proposer une aide de 300 000 euros en faveur de l’Écomusée d’Alsace - Depositphotos.com, wirestock_creators

CroisiEurope


Placed this summer in safeguard proceedings by the Colmar Judicial Court, the association managing the Alsace Ecomuseum must now work on restoring its financial situation and preparing the continuation of its activities.

Created more than 40 years ago thanks to the commitment of volunteers, the site has become the largest ecomuseum in France.

It today counts more than 70 Alsatian houses preserved and has welcomed over 7 million visitors since its creation.

The Region thus regards the Ecomuseum as a facility that is at once patrimonial, cultural and touristic, contributing to Alsace’s attractiveness.


Un soutien pour préparer l’avenir

The €300,000 announced are intended to enable the Ecomuseum to continue its restructuring and development projects and to strengthen its appeal to visitors.

For Franck Leroy, president of the Grand Est Region, the site is an important element of Alsace’s tourism reach, beyond regional borders.

“In the face of the difficulties it is currently facing, the Region is here and stands by its side“, he said.

This financial support should thus permanently reinforce the Ecomuseum’s position among the region’s main heritage and tourist sites.

Aman Announces the Opening of Aman Seoul, Its First Property in South Korea

CroisiEurope


The luxury hotel group Aman is making its first foray into South Korea with the Aman Seoul project, developed in partnership with the real estate developer Shinsegae Property.

Located in the Cheongdam district, in the heart of Gangnam, the complex overlooks the Han River and sits at the center of Seoul’s luxury, design, and fashion scene.

The architecture and interior design were crafted in collaboration with local artisans to weave Korean spatial traditions and materials into a contemporary, minimalist setting.

To safeguard guests’ tranquility, separate access and arrival flows have been laid out to segregate the hotel, the residential units, and the club.

The accommodation offering centers on suites, wellness and spa facilities spread across multiple levels, along with a dining program that expands the brand’s usual concepts.

Private residences, custom-furnished by Aman Interiors, offer permanent apartment units attached to the property’s services. The Aman Club, for its part, provides members and residents with a dedicated pool, fitness facilities, and private reception spaces.


A targeted expansion into global metropolises

This project stems from an agreement between the Korean group Shinsegae and the American real estate development company OKO Group.

The venture aims to establish a new standard of upscale hospitality in the South Korean capital, where cultural and economic influence is growing on a global scale.

The opening of Aman Seoul adds to a portfolio of urban destinations already comprising properties in Tokyo and New York.

It is part of a global development plan that includes forthcoming sites in Bangkok, Beverly Hills, Miami Beach, Dubai, and Singapore.

Founded in 1988, the brand continues to diversify its activities, now encompassing hotels, residential real estate, wellness, and skincare products.

Climats du Monde


Les passagers peuvent d’ores et déjà réserver l’ensemble des traversées proposées en 2027 par La Méridionale entre Marseille, Ajaccio et Porto-Vecchio.

La compagnie annonce également l’arrivée de deux nouveaux navires.

Sous pavillon français premier registre et spécialement conçus pour la desserte de la Corse, Alba Nova et Azura entreront respectivement en service en mars et en juin 2027.

Ils disposent d’une capacité de 935 passagers et de 274 cabines chacun.


The Méridionale’s two new ships will offer seven cabin categories

Conçus avec le studio Jean-Philippe Nuel et le cabinet Stirling Design, les deux navires proposeront sept catégories de cabines, dont 21 cabines Luxe avec balcon.

Ils sont tous deux équipés d’une propulsion hybride GNL-électrique, associée à des batteries de 13,5 MWh. Grâce à l’électrification à quai à Marseille et à l’énergie stockée dans leurs batteries, ils pourront également effectuer leurs escales sans émissions polluantes à quai, précise un communiqué de presse.

« L’arrivée d’Alba Nova et Azura marque une nouvelle étape dans l’histoire de La Méridionale. Avec ces deux navires sous pavillon français, nous faisons le choix d’élever encore le niveau de service proposé à nos passagers, tout en réduisant très significativement l’empreinte environnementale de nos traversées. » a déclaré Charles-Henry de Lignac, directeur général de La Méridionale.

Disneyland Paris Announces New Parade and Space Mountain’s Return

Près de 225 croquis consacrés aux costumes, perruques et maquillages ont été dévoilés - Illustration : Disney-Artist Concept Only

MSC Croisières


On the occasion of D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, held from August 14 to 16, 2026 in Anaheim, California, Disneyland Paris unveiled several innovations that will enrich its offerings in the coming years.

Highlights include a new daytime parade anticipated for 2028, a fresh interpretation of Space Mountain – From Earth to the Moon – and new details about the upcoming immersive zone dedicated to The Lion King at Disney Adventure World.

Disneyland Park will welcome in 2028 a new daytime parade, the first since 2017. Presented as an exclusive creation for Disneyland Paris, it will run daily and become one of the park’s new daytime entertainment highlights.

Led by Mickey Mouse and his friends, the parade will feature several iconic characters from the Disney universe, among them Jasmine, Tiana, Rapunzel, and Miguel from Disney/Pixar’s Coco. New floats will blend design with cutting-edge technology around the theme of magic and dreams.

The project required more than 10,000 hours of technical research and development, as well as nearly 225 sketches dedicated to costumes, wigs, and makeup.


Space Mountain Returns to Its Original Story

Another announcement concerns the Disneyland Park: Space Mountain will receive a new artistic direction inspired by its original incarnation, Space Mountain – From Earth to the Moon.

Opened in 1995, the attraction drew on Jules Verne’s novel and offered a retro-futuristic world paired with an immersive experience.

After ten years under the Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain theme, the ride is therefore set to reclaim the spirit of its initial design. The current version is slated to close at the end of 2027 to allow several months of renovation.

Disneyland Paris stresses that the project will not be a mere reproduction of the 1995 attraction. The work will include technical and maintenance improvements, new sets and props, and a redesigned queue.

The narrative will also be revisited, framed by an idealized vision of humanity’s early voyages to the Moon, rendered in a steampunk style faithful to the Discoveryland universe.

Disneyland Paris further notes that elements of the original scenery will be integrated with new installations, while the technical improvements accumulated over more than 30 years will be retained.

This transformation is part of the “New Magic” program, recently launched by Disneyland Paris to evolve certain historic attractions and refresh the visitor experience.


The Lion King: Scar Joins the Upcoming Attraction

At Disney Adventure World, Disneyland Paris is also continuing the construction of its forthcoming immersive zone dedicated to The Lion King.

The park revealed at D23 new details about the attraction, notably the presence of Scar in the form of an Audio-Animtronics figure.

The character will appear in a new confrontation scene with Simba, directly inspired by the film’s iconic battle. This will mark Scar’s first Audio-Animatronics figure presentation within this attraction.

The future zone will constitute the first immersive world dedicated to The Lion King in a Disney park. Work began in the autumn of 2025, after the foundations were completed, near Adventure Bay and World of Frozen.

The area will span roughly 30,000 square meters and will include the attraction, a shop, a dining space, and meet-and-greet areas for character interactions.


A Transformation That Continues at Disney Adventure World

These announcements are part of a significant evolution phase for Disneyland Paris.

The development of Disney Adventure World continues, notably following the opening of World of Frozen and several new experiences.

The next milestone announced will be the arrival of Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings, a ride inspired by the Disney/Pixar film Up, which is slated to open next year on Adventure Way, opposite Rapunzel’s Tangled Spin.

Hurtigruten


The Oceania Sonata marks the first of five ships that will compose the new Oceania Cruises Sonata class. It will be followed in 2029 by its sister ship, the Oceania Arietta, and then by three additional units whose deliveries are staggered in 2032, 2035 and 2037.

Resulting from a nearly twenty-year partnership between the operator and the Italian shipyard Fincantieri, this project succeeds the delivery of the Oceania Marina (2011), Oceania Riviera (2012), Oceania Vista (2023) and Oceania Allura (2025).

With a gross tonnage of around 86,000, the Oceania Sonata will offer a volume about 30% higher than that of the Oceania Allura, while adding only 90 more accommodations for a total of 695 cabins and suites reserved exclusively for adults.

A third of the overall capacity will be devoted to suites, including for the first time for the operator four Owner’s Suites with two bedrooms, as well as two new categories: the Horizon Suites (nearly 56 m² with veranda) and the Penthouse Deluxe Suites (around 45 m²).


13 dining venues aboard and an inaugural season spanning Europe and the Americas

On the dining front, the ship will feature 13 dining venues. The offering will introduce two new culinary concepts: La Table by Masters of French Cuisine and Nikkei Kitchen, which will complement the brand’s gastronomic proposition alongside the Grand Dining Room and the brand’s usual dining venues (Jacques, Red Ginger, Polo Grill, Toscana).

For its inaugural season planned from August 2027 to April 2028, the Oceania Sonata will sail to more than 90 destinations. Its inaugural voyage, the Mediterranean Collage (a 14-day journey from Rome to Trieste), will begin on August 7, 2027, tracing a course through Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia.

The summer and winter programs will combine itineraries in the Eastern Mediterranean (Greeks & Byzantines in October 2027), a Panama Canal crossing connecting Los Angeles to Miami in January 2028, as well as Caribbean island itineraries departing from Florida (Tropical Coves in March 2028).

Summer 2027: heading towards the Mediterranean, Alaska and the Caribbean

As for the summer program, the brand will position several newer ships on key sailing bases.

In North America, the company will deploy the Anthem of the Seas and the Quantum of the Seas for seven-night cruises departing from Vancouver and Seward, focusing on discovering Alaska’s glaciers (Hubbard, Endicott Arm, Dawes).

TAP Air Portugal


Hyatt Hotels Corporation continues its expansion in Italy with the announcement of three new openings in Rome and Taormina.

These projects, representing a total of 428 additional rooms and suites, notably mark the arrival of the Hyatt Regency and Thompson Hotels brands on the Italian market.

Already present in the country through six properties spread across Milan, Venice, Rome, Florence and Sardinia, Hyatt aims to strengthen its position in one of Europe’s leading tourist markets.

The group says it has quadrupled the capacity of its Italian portfolio since 2019 and plans to continue its expansion, as more than 40 openings are scheduled in Europe in the coming years.


Two New Brands in Rome

The first announced opening concerns the upcoming Hyatt Regency Rome Central, with the inauguration planned for the end of the third quarter of 2026. Located near the Rome-Termini station, the property will primarily target business travelers, meetings and events.

This 238-room and suite hotel will notably offer a rooftop pool, a Pool Bar and the Niroma restaurant, inspired by Asian cuisine. It will be the first Italian property under the Hyatt Regency brand, which is already present in more than 240 hotels and resorts worldwide.

A few months later, in the fourth quarter of 2026, Hyatt also plans to open the Thompson Rome. This property will mark the lifestyle brand’s debut in Italy.

Housed in a renovated historic building near the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Piazza Venezia, the hotel will count 69 rooms. Three dining spaces are planned, including a sixth-floor restaurant inspired by the Italian Riviera as well as a rooftop cocktail bar.


A Second Park Hyatt in Italy

In the longer term, Hyatt plans the opening of the Park Hyatt Taormina in 2028. This property will become the second Park Hyatt hotel in Italy, after Park Hyatt Milan.

Located in Taormina, a premium destination on the eastern Sicilian coast, the hotel will comprise 121 suites. The project includes private terraces, views of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna, a regional-inspired gastronomic offer and a spa.

According to Hyatt, these new openings respond to sustained demand in the high-end, lifestyle and luxury segments.

The group also emphasizes the potential for converting existing hotels to accelerate the development of its international brands in the most coveted Italian destinations.

“Italy represents an important growth market for Hyatt, as it combines strong tourist demand with a broad fleet of independent hotels,” explains Nuno Galvao Pinto, Vice President Development EAME of the group.
