8 Reasons Why France is One of Our Favorite Pavilions At Epcot's World Showcase

3. Beautiful Gardens

The exquisite gardens and flowers make this the most desirable location in World Showcase. Many guests compare the lush landscape to that of the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast. In fact, Belle and her friends often make appearances here throughout the day! This is the perfect place to relax and take in your surroundings. The gardens here are modeled after Versailles. The topiaries and foliage are immaculately shaped, just like the ones at the famous French palace.

2. The Ambience

As you step into the French Pavilion, you’ll feel as if you’re wandering the streets of Paris. You’ll be able to spot a miniature replica of the world’s most famous landmark- the Eiffel Tower! As you stroll through this beautiful pavilion, the music will immerse you in the French culture. The lovely architecture is mainly inspired by the Belle Époque, which marks the end of the nineteenth century. The central fountain is one of the most popular spots here and is especially charming once night falls and it’s lit up. The footbridge that connects the UK Pavilion is modeled after the Pont de Arts in Paris, which overlooks the beautiful World Showcase Lagoon
