In Paris, the shares closed at 88.50 French francs, or $14.09, a share, up from the offer price of 72 French francs, or $11.46, a share.
In recent weeks, Euro Disney shares had been trading at about 800 pence, or $12.56, a share in the London “gray market,” in which investors trade promises to buy and sell shares once official trading begins.
