PHOTOS: Detail Work Continues on the France Pavilion Expansion and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT

We are patiently waiting for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure to open at EPCOT, and every time we ride the Disney Skyliner, we can’t resist catching a glimpse of construction. The expansion to the France pavilion has looked near completion for a while, but construction still carries on, with finishing touches now being added.

The entrance to the expansion looks closest to completion, with fully-grown trees planted.

Construction has moved back into the main street, with tarps protecting the finished walkways.

Windows have been completed on the corner building, which will house La Creperie de Paris. The Creperie is also expected to open with the attraction! Some shrubbery remains to be planted in the nearby courtyard.

More shrubbery will be planted around this building. It looks like another lamppost also needs to be installed.

As most of the pavilion is near completion, only smaller details remain to be finished.

There is some plastic over an opening on one building facade to the left.

Workers seemed to be touching up a balcony on the bright pink building. To the center right, we see the entrance to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Construction equipment is still visible in the main courtyard, including orange cones and some cord.

If you look at the base of the Remy fountain, you can see the champagne bottles which will act as smaller spouts.

Of course, no matter how far along construction is on the exterior of the pavilion’s expansion, we don’t know how advanced construction on the attraction is inside. Hopefully, though the opening is delayed, we’ll still get to see Remy and pals before the year is done.
