Impressions de France

Fodor's Review:

Duration: 18 min.

Crowds: Steady from World Showcase opening through late afternoon.

Strategy: Visit anytime during your stroll around the World Showcase.

Audience: Adults and children age 7 and up.

Rating: ***

The intimate Palais du Cinema, inspired by the royal theater at Fontainebleau, screens this homage to the glories of the country. Shown on five screens spanning 200 degrees, in an air-conditioned, sit-down theater, the film takes you to vineyards at harvest time, Paris on Bastille Day, the Alps, Versailles, Normandy's Mont-St-Michel, and the stunning châteaux of the Loire Valley. The musical accompaniment also hits high notes and sweeps you away with familiar segments from Offenbach, Debussy, and Saint-Saëns, all woven together by longtime Disney musician Buddy Baker.
