Guests are sure to find excellent food, drink and entertainment at Disney’s France Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase. With new rides and food coming in the next few years, guests will want to make sure France is on their bucket list when visiting Epcot on their next vacation.
1. Atmosphere
The first thing that guests need to know about the France Pavilion is to take in the atmosphere. Aspects of France have been brought right into the World Showcase to make guests feel like they are truly walking the streets of France. Right away guests will notice the replica of the Eiffel Tower towering over the pavilion. From there guests can enjoy the fountain, side carts and music all inspired by the sights and sounds of France.
2. Food
Food is definitely something guests need to know about when heading to the France Pavilion. There are numerous restaurants that many guests don’t even know about as they are hidden within the pavilion. In the morning, guests can enjoy pastries, cheese platters and small sandwiches at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie. This is one of the few places in the World Showcase that opens at 9am instead of 11 making it a great option for breakfast while taking in the sights of the morning. L’Artisan des Glaces is a wonderful place to grab an ice cream or sorbet. With 16 flavors and numerous topping choices, and even the ability to add liquor for adults, everyone is sure to find something delicious here. For those looking for more than a quick bite to eat, there are two options in France. Les Chefs de France and Monsieur Paul are both sit-down dining options in the pavilion. Les Chefs de France has an extensive drink list as well as both land and sea options. Monsieur Paul is a signature restaurant offering only dinner and cooking up French cuisine guests will be shocked they can find at Disney.
