Synopsis
Impressions de France is one of the original Epcot park attractions, which has been playing every day since the park opened in 1982. This travelogue type of film attraction offers pavilion guests a tour of the French countryside, major cities, various regions and important structures. Set to a soaring musical score written and arranged by Buddy Baker (composer), the film encompasses the music of classical French composers such as Claude Debussy and Camille Saint-Saëns. The film is the work of director Rick Harper and produced by two-time Academy Award nominee Bob Rogers. The film's aerial views, mixed with closer views, include, among other things, the Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe, the French Alps, Versailles, scenes from Cannes, Notre Dame de Paris and scenes from Normandy.
