Bistro de Paris Restaurant in France in World Showcase at Epcot, opened on June 3, 1984. With the extreme popularity of Les Chefs de France, Epcot executives decided more eating space was needed in France. An upstairs area above Les Chefs was unused, so they turned it into the new restaurant, also specializing in gourmet French cuisine. It closed on July 31, 2012, to reopen in December as Monsieur Paul.
