As you cross the recreation of the Pont des Arts bridge between the UK and France Pavilions, there is a small detail that relates directly to the actual bridge from Paris. Les Pont des Arts is a historic bridge on the Seine River. It was rebuilt in the 1980's after having stood for almost 200 years. Besides being a tourist destination, it is often used for picnics, by artists (due to its location and point-of-view) and for art displays.
Jessica from If We Can Dream It
covered the painting in an earlier post.
As you cross the Channel from the UK to France, you will notice a tableau on your right. A portrait left by an artist frames the view of World Traveler shop at the International Gateway.
It is one of those great details!

This is one of my favorite details at Epcot. It adds just the right effect.
Apparently there was less vegetation when the painting was created...
It is no surprise, what with my never-ending love of the France pavilion and all, but this scene, along with the many other French vagabond vingettes within the pavilion, just bring the whole feeling of the area home. Thanks for adding a sense of history to the sense of spirit George!
A perennial favorite from that pavilion! And thanks for the history lesson.
