Growing up, I started taking French as my foreign language requirement in school. At the time, a lot of schools in New York did this because we are relatively close to Quebec. I still remember a trip to Epcot when I was in middle school. I fell in love with the Eiffel Tower and saw an item in the gift store in France that I wanted, but I was told to wait. Later on, I still wanted the Eiffel Tower item and my mother let me walk all the way around World Showcase on my own to get the item. While the topic from Focused on the Magic is Celebrate Your Country, I am sharing memories of France at Epcot because of my magical memories there.

Your pictures of France in Epcot are wonderful! I love the one of Marie from Arisotcats!! My son would love to meet her!
Vive La France! So beautiful there!
Nice take on the theme- I love the France pavilion!
Tres bien! Umm…sorry but that’s all the French I remember. Aside from “mon stylo est jaune”, but that doesn’t seem to really apply here. Love your pictures though. Especially the crazy dude on the chairs!
Love your take on the theme and your beautiful photos! That is such a sweet picture with Marie. We spent quite a bit of time in the France Pavilion this trip. There is so much to experience. I can’t wait to go back!
And you still remember your French!! I think I could easily spend a day touring, eating, drinking, sitting… here, and be completely entertained!!
This is one of my favorite areas in EPCOT. Love all your France pictures. We met Marie here once too.
J’adore France, en particulier Les Halles. Les tartes aux fraises…drool!!
We (I mean me) always love to see Maria. I also try to order in French when I am there using my high school French. They actually understood me last time!
Great pictures! I love the topiaries!
