This unique 12-month program offers friendly, outgoing, hospitality-oriented individuals from France the opportunity to represent the cultures and traditions of their country while interacting with Guests from all over the world. Participants hired as Cultural Representatives will work in the Epcot® France Pavilion. Epcot opened at the Walt Disney World® Resort on October 1, 1982. As part of Epcot, World Showcase has become "a community of nations; the only permanent international exposition of its kind, focusing on the culture, traditions, tourism and accomplishments of people around the world." This community of nations is represented by the United Kingdom, France, Morocco, Japan, Italy, Germany, China, Norway, Mexico, the United States of America and Canada. The France Pavilion reflects the ambience of Paris between 1870 and 1910, an energetic period known as La Belle Apoque, or when a spectrum of styles formed the character of the city's boulevards and architecture. Walking through a tree-lined courtyard, Guests may view the one-tenth-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower, which was constructed using Gustave Eiffel's original blueprints. They pass a myriad of shops such as Plume et Palette, a boutique in the art nouveau style. At the rear of the courtyard, Guests enter a theater by the way of a classical portico. "Impressions de France" is a whirlwind film tour of France accompanied by the classical music of renowned French composers. After the film, Guests exit through a shopping area. The aroma of fresh pastries draws Guests into a village lane where they discover a bakery and two restaurants. Under the leadership of three world-famous chefs, Paul Bocuse, Gaston Lenotre and Roger Verge, Bistro de Paris and Chefs de France offers Guests the opportunity to sample gourmet French cuisine in a scaled-down version of a 19th-century building with rolling mansard roofs and elegant ironwork.  |
