PHOTOS: Cobblestone Streets, Landscaping, and More Detail Work Continues at the France Pavilion Expansion in EPCOT

As construction continues in EPCOT’s France Pavilion, we’ve been spotting more details appearing in the expansion. There is now signage for La Creperie de Paris and more evidence that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be getting signage soon.

We saw workers at the windows of La Creperie de Paris, which will be on the righthand corner of the expansion’s main street.

Landscaping is almost complete around the yellow and blue building across from the Creperie, with only a small section of dirt remaining at the corner.

Extra stone details are appearing on the street leading to the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure entrance.

Though difficult to see, activity was happening near the courtyard’s fountain.

There was also a worker in the covered area of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure’s overflow queue.

The backstage road is now paved and cleaned up. Soon there will be a prettier view for guests on the Disney Skyliner.

It looks like workers were cleaning or maybe freshening paint on this roof.

Another worker was doing something at the white building on the side.

Trees have been planted in the backstage area as well, and presumably there will be more grass and hedging to come.

The new bathrooms seem to be complete except for some empty planters outside.

A black tarp was laid across the road leading into the expansion.

On our way back, we got a better view at the windows of La Creperie de Paris. There was another black tarp on the ground, most likely to protect the sidewalk from paint and construction.

Another construction vehicle was parked under the Ratatouille archway.

Planters next to this archway are also empty.

For now, the lettering on the archway looks the same as when we last checked on it.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and the rest of the France Pavilion expansion at EPCOT were originally supposed to open summer 2020, but this has been delayed. No new opening date has been announced.
