Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs Group

Center Parcs operates a network of holiday villages that provide self‑catering accommodation for short‑break stays. The villages typically include lodges or apartments equipped with kitchen facilities, living areas and private outdoor spaces. Guests have access to on‑site leisure amenities such as swimming pools, sports facilities, restaurants and entertainment programmes. The company markets its breaks primarily to families and couples seeking a resort‑style experience within a natural setting. Its services are available to customers across several European countries, as evidenced by the recent breach affecting clients in multiple nations.

Center Parcs is headquartered in France and trades under the aliases Center Parcs, Pierre & Vacances‑Center Parcs Group and Pierre & Vacances. It forms part of the Pierre & Vacances‑Center Parcs Group, which is the parent tourism conglomerate, making Center Parcs a subsidiary within that structure. The group’s organisational placement gives Center Parcs access to shared services, branding and reservation systems across the broader Pierre & Vacances portfolio. On 1 June 2025 the company detected an intrusion targeting its telephone reservation system, exposing personal data for roughly twenty thousand clients across Europe. The compromised data consisted of names, email addresses and reservation details such as location and stay duration, while financial information, passwords, phone numbers and postal addresses remained unaffected. In response, Center Parcs suspended access to the affected system, notified the French data protection authority, engaged external cyber‑security experts and instituted technical remediation measures. An investigation into the attack vector is ongoing, and to date there has been no evidence of active exploitation of the stolen information.
