Yvoire - One of the most beautiful villages in France
Join us on our tour through one of the cutest little medieval villages in France – Yvoire. Stones and flowers will be everywhere you look.
You will see the beautiful Yvoire castle that was built in 1306 during the village fortification by the Comte de Savoie Amédée V. At first, the castle served for military purposes, as it had an ideal location to watch and control the road which linked Geneva to the high valley of the Rhône and Italy.
Yvorie is ranked as one of the International Laureates of Floral Decorations and a member of the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages of France. Although this information speaks enough on its own, you should definitely come here to check if it deserves such high reputation.

Basque Country: French Culture
More info about travel to French Basque Country: French Basque Country is dotted with unique small towns throughout its varied terrain. Espelette, famous for its peppers, is worth a short stop. High in the Pyrenees, St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port has an endearing energy, with its mix of day-tripping families and hikers starting their trek to Santiago de Compostela. Bayonne on the coast has a more urban feel.

Epcot Impressions De France in 4k
This is the 18 minute film that has been shown at the France Pavilion at Epcot since opening day in 1982. It is shown every half hour until park closing in the Palais du Cinema. The movie is projected onto five adjacent screens, giving 200° coverage.
In my opinion, even after 36 years 'Impressions De France' is still one of the highlights at Epcot as it is a perfect marriage of images and music.
Although certain aspects are dated this does not matter. Does one dismiss a work of art simply because it does not reflect current styles or fashions? No, of course not.
This is a classic film which I hope will play at the French Pavilion forever, it is a wonderful snapshot of what France once was and I doubt whether it could or would be made today. For me it is now the only thing at Epcot that is guaranteed to bring joy to my heart and I know that many others have a love for it that is unmatched by anything else at Walt Disney World's second park.
I tried to keep the camera as steady as I could without using a tripod, the video is shot in 4k at 24fps to match the film. I was sat in the back row of the cinema during the last showing, whilst it was fairly empty unfortunately a couple of heads do intrude into the frame somewhat. I hope that this does not interfere too much with the enjoyment of the film.
I do not pan the camera at all but keep it locked onto the middle screen with part of each of the screens either side. With this wide angle view I manage to capture just under half of what a person in the Palais du Cinema can see.
