Description And Comments

Impressions de France is an 18-minute movie projected over 200 degrees onto five screens. Unlike at China and Canada, the audience sits to view this well-made film introducing France's people, cities, and natural wonders.

Touring Tips

The film usually begins on the hour and half hour. Detail and the evocation of a bygone era enrich the atmosphere of this pavilion. Streets are small and become quite congested when visitors queue for the film.

Disney Dish with Jim Hill

FAKERY A LA FRANÇAISE

Ah, those tricky Imagineers. When you're watching Impressions de France, you may think you're seeing authentic footage from an early-1980s running of the Tour de France. But you'd be wrong. All those people pedaling toward the camera are actually Disney employees who got roped into playing French cyclists. Another Imagineering trick: pay close attention during the film's hot-air-balloon sequence. You'll swear you're seeing double. And you are.
