The level of detailing we can see in this photo is exactly why we are looking forward to this expansion opening. It is clear that Disney is not pulling any punches for this new expansion and it will blend seamlessly into the existing France pavilion.

The Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction is a staple in Disneyland Paris, it seems like it will be a natural fit for the France pavilion in EPCOT. Just like when the Norway Pavillion welcomed its new Frozen themed attraction this expansion to the France pavilion brings more Disney characters into the World Showcase.
