Q: I read in the book Walt Disney and Europe by Robin Allan, on page 209, that in an interview (probably made by Robin Allan himself), Claude Coats stated that John Hench and Mary Blair had traveled in France to obtain first-hand impressions of the country houses, farms, and the general atmosphere for the movie Cinderella. What do we know exactly about the French places, castles, towns, and villages that were visited by these two artists, and what inspired them?
Michael, France
A: The Archives has no information on where they may have traveled.
