                  UPDATE ON THE COVID-19 AND ITS CONSEQUENCES

Paris, 13 March 2020 - Compagnie des Alpes is carefully monitoring the
development and spread of the COVID-19 on a day-to-day basis in France and
Europe, in both its leisure destinations and its ski areas. The Group's main
priority and concern remains the health of its visitors and employees.

In France, Compagnie des Alpes manages two sites that are currently open:
Futuroscope and Grévin Paris. Following the presidential address of Thursday
12 March and in order to effectively combat the spread of COVID-19, in a spirit
of responsibility and national solidarity, the Group has decided to close these
two sites from Monday 16 March to Sunday 29 March inclusive. Parc Astérix and
France Miniature are scheduled to open on 4 April. Walibi Rhône-Alpes will
open next 11 April. Decisions to open these sites will be taken in accordance
with the recommendations of the public authorities.

In Belgium, the Federal Government has indicated that public places should be
closed and remain so until 3 April. Compagnie des Alpes is applying by this
decision and is closing its two water parks which have remained open to date:
Bellewaerde Aquapark and Aqualibi. As its two other sites (Walibi Belgium and
Bellewaerde) are not set to officially open until next 5 April, the decisions
to open these sites will also be taken in accordance with the recommendations
of the public authorities.

In Switzerland, in accordance with the Government's request, the Chaplin's
World site will remain closed until 30 April.

The five sites affected (two in Belgium, two in France and one in Switzerland)
traditionally generate less than EUR3.7 million in revenue in the second half
of March.

Its other parks, in the Netherlands (Walibi Holland) and Austria (Familypark)
are not due to reopen until the beginning of April and the group will adopt the
same decision-making process.

Finally, as regards ski areas, Compagnie des Alpes is in daily contact with the
competent authorities at the regional and national levels. To date, no decision
has been made to close any areas and therefore all 11 sites are open.
