Giant Disney Sleeping Beauty Sand Castle Created in Paris

---

For the first time, Disneyland Paris is participating in Paris Plages. This is a 16-foot sand sculpture of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Paris Plages is a yearly summer event held in the heart of Paris where the Seine riverbanks are transformed into a giant beach.

Seven expert sculptors worked for nearly 300 hours to transform 60 tons of natural sand into our famous castle along the Seine River. Take a look at their finished work [Click to Enlarge]:

Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant

Picture by Disney

The castle, which was finished in August 1991 (20 years ago last week), is a bit different than the first Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland, California. The French version features pink-tinted turrets, stained-glass windows and a basement cavern that is home to a dragon (La Tanière du Dragon), who awakens if you wait long enough.
