A NEW multi-million pound McDonald’s has opened in Europe – and it is the BIGGEST in the world.
The new restaurant is a remodelled version of the former restaurant at Disneyland Paris’s Disney Village.
The new €20million (£17.5million) restaurant is spread across 2,000sqm according to local reports.
This makes it the biggest in the world overtaking the Orlando, Florida restaurant which measures 1,800sqm.
The new French McDonald’s also seats up to 600 guests, which is 250 more than the Orlando site.
The restaurant is spread across three floors, with a 200-seat outdoor terrace.

As visitors step inside, they will be greeted by a bright and spacious reception area and a wall with the outline of Disneyland Paris on it.
There is then also McCafé for caffeine fixes as well as unique French menu items like Croque McDo for €3.70 (£3.23).
For kids, there is even a three-story indoor play area.
Unlike other McDonald’s sites, this one also has a panoramic elevator as well as a curly slide between the floors.
And guests shouldn’t have to wait long to make their order as there are 23 self-service kiosks.
Otherwise there will be 210 employees, that speak 16 languages between them.
Boris Solbach, senior vice president, chief financial officer, Disneyland Paris said: “Since 1999, Disneyland Paris and McDonald’s have built a relationship grounded in trust and a shared vision of the guest experience.
“The opening of this new restaurant fully supports the transformation of Disney Village through a landmark project that combines innovative architecture, high-quality hospitality, and seamless integration into the site’s universe.”
The environment has also been thought about during the construction process and as a result, the restaurant has a green roof, planters and a 120sqm living wall.
The original Disney Village McDonald’s – which sits just next door – opened in 1999 but has now closed as the new venue has opened.
The restaurant will soon be demolished as well, as part of the wider plan to reimagine Disney Village.
Disney Village is located between the theme parks and Disney Hotels and has a number of shopping and dining experiences.
The village is currently undergoing a revamp and once complete will have new restaurants, shops, building facades and guest experiences.
The two new Disney shops will be a lifestyle shop with ready-to-wear clothing, jewellery and accessories and then there will also be a Disney home store with collectible items and decorations.
The Lego store has also been improved recently, with more photo opportunities, big builds and play stations.
Back in November, Sports Bar & Lounge reopened with an expanded dining area, redesigned terrace and fresh interiors.
The bar also now has a giant fresco featuring Goofy and another featuring Big Hero 6: The Series on the restaurant’s façade.
Pelé Soccer, a new shop dedicated to the world of football, will open soon as well.
Last year, McDonald’s opened its biggest site in Europe last year in Majorca, Spain.
The restaurant can be found at Level P30, Module A Airside of Palma de Mallorca Airport in the Spanish island and sprawls across 1,000sqm.
There are a number of McDonald’s across the world that also double as tourist spots.
For example, the UK’s ‘most beautiful’ McDonald’s has its own ‘beer garden’ built inside historic old pub near idyllic woods.
Plus, here’s the McDonald’s that’s one of the world’s most beautiful with pretty outdoor courtyard and volcano views.
