An anti-formula one protest has taken place at the gates of Disneyland Paris, one of the proposed sites for the staging of the Grand Prix of France in 2010.

The site, located about a half hour drive from the French capital, is a frontrunner to stage the country's grand prix in the future.

But on Saturday, about 250 protesters with banners, declaring 'no' to the proposed formula one circuit, demonstrated at the site in Marne-la-Vallée, which houses theme parks and hotels.

They made clear their opposition to the project, which involves France's four-time world champion Alain Prost, on the grounds of noise, disruption to the area, and environmental damage.
