A Closer Look at Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Details

3 September 2021 by Suzannah Otis 1 Comment

Cast members were recently given preview days at the all-new Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction over in EPCOT’s France pavilion. With that preview, they also got to enjoy the newest restaurant, La Creperie de Paris, which offers both quick service and table service options for crepes. We’ll share a look at all the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure details, including the new France pavilion expansion, and La Creperie too.

Get ready for a squeak preview of what you can enjoy when this area, ride, and restaurant officially open on October 1!

As you approach the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction, you will pass through this canopy, which signifies the transition from “real world” Paris to that of the Ratatouille movie setting, with more exaggerated details and animated style of architecture.

At first glance, it looks like the streets of Paris, but a closer look shows whimsical drain pipes and chimneys you’d see in the animated film.

You may recognize that scooter from the Ratatouille film!

Time to ride the ride! We won’t share too many photos, but here are a few to give you an idea of what to expect on this 3-D trackless ride through Gusteau’s restaurant:

I will be experiencing this ride in person in the coming week at another Cast preview where guests are allowed, and a Passholder preview. I cannot wait! Be sure to follow along on @zannaland on instagram to see what I share from my visits!

Photo Tour of “L’Artisan Des Glaces” Ice Cream Shop in Epcot’s France

29 May 2013 by Suzannah Otis 1 Comment

The newest snack spot in Epcot’s World Showcase opened today over in the France pavilion. The much anticipated L’Artisan des Glaces ice cream and sorbet shop is now open and serving up 16 flavors of fun – ooh là là!

In the completely refurbished former patisserie area of France, L’Artisan des Glaces is set within a rustic, stone cottage building with turret (as before), but is open and airy inside, giving the feel of a country dairy shop. In fact, there are dairy touches throughout: milk bottles, milk canisters, even a milk bottle chandelier! The set up is different than before, with two registers allowing you to pay first, then choose a cup or a cone and pick your flavor. You then move down the line to pick up your order.

The 16 flavors available at L’Artisan des Glaces are: Vanilla, Chocolate, Mint Chocolate, Pistachio, Hazelnut, Profiterole, Caramel fleur de sel (salted caramel), Cherry, Coco-White Chocolate, Coffee, and 6 sorbet flavors: Strawberry, Mango, Melon, Lemon, Pomegranate, and Mixed Berries. These flavors are made in-house and may change periodically – I’m hoping for fun seasonal options.

Unique to L’Artisan des Glaces is the adult-only sundae with liquor – 2 scoops of ice cream or sorbet served in a martini glass with a shot of Grand Marnier, Epic brand Whipped Cream Vodka, or Clement Rhum from Martinique for $11.50. One scoop of plain ice cream or sorbet is $3.99 while two scoops are $6.10 and are served in a waffle cone or a cup.

Here is a gallery of the new establishment, sure to be the popular place to be this summer and from now on! What flavor are you going to get first? I’m intrigued by the Profiterole, Hazelnut and Coco-White Chocolate! The sorbets will be so refreshing in the heat as well. Click to enlarge the photos and view as a slideshow:
