Amidst the vibrant hustle of Disneyland Paris, where Mickey Mouse and Cinderella's Castle steal the spotlight, one woman tends to the park's unseen lifeline: water. Fanny Le Loher, a water and environmental engineer, stands as the vigilant guardian of this precious element.

A Touch of Reality in a Land of Fantasy
As visitors dive into whimsical realms, Fanny oversees the wastewater treatment plant of Disneyland Paris. It's not just another technical job; it's trailblazing: Reusing wastewater isn’t common practice in France. However, Disneyland Paris leads by example, employing this method for a decade now.

A Journey That Led to a Magical World
Rooted deeply in Strasbourg, equipped with an engineering degree and a Masters in Environmental Engineering, Fanny never anticipated her career path leading to the heart of Europe's most iconic amusement park. A tip from her network opened the doors to this magical kingdom. And it was Disneyland's forward-thinking environmental strategy that captured her heart.

Collaborating for a Better World - Both in Reality and Fairytales
Within a dedicated energy and environment team, Fanny plays a pivotal role in turning the park greener and more sustainable. This entails closely collaborating with other teams within the park - a challenge that demands a delicate touch to ensure the magical guest experience remains untouched.

A Day Filled with Surprises
While Cinderella’s and Donald Duck's days might be predictable, Fanny's daily life is anything but routine. From daily monitoring of the treatment facilities to the implementation of environmental projects - her days are filled with sustainability-driven adventures.

Disneyland Paris: More Than Just a Fairytale
What does Fanny cherish about her job? Disneyland Paris’s unique position to control its entire water cycle. A rarity, often fragmented by numerous external partners elsewhere.

Conserving Water as the Sun Shines Brightest
Summer in Disneyland: As kids splash in the pools, Fanny works tirelessly behind the scenes to safeguard and efficiently utilize every single drop of precious water.

The next time you visit the sparkling Disneyland Paris, spare a thought for Fanny Le Loher, the unseen hero ensuring the magic extends beyond fairytales into the real world.
