Front Lot

Front Lot is a themed land or studio lot at Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris, based on the glamorous administration areas of Hollywood movie studios from the "golden age" of movies in the 1930s. It serves as the main entrance area of the park, similar to Main Street USA, with park services and several boutiques. Earffel Tower, the park's icon, is located in this area.
