Les Chefs de France is one of two restaurants in the France Pavilion at Epcot's World Showcase at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The dining venue was opened by three famed French gastronomic legends; Roger Vergé (1930–2015), Gaston Lenôtre (1920–2009) and Paul Bocuse (1926-)[1] at Epcot's inception in 1982 and has been run since 1996 by the third of the aforementioned trio's son Jérôme Bocuse.[2]
In 2009, an animatronic Disney characterization of the mouse Remy from the Disney animated feature Ratatouille appeared at the restaurant several times daily. The robotic rodent (which is the smallest the imagineers at Disney have to this date ever produced) was brought around by a handler to appear at diners tables, which was especially apt given that one of the establishment's three founders, Gaston Lenôtre, is widely believed to have been part of the inspiration for Auguste Gusteau in the film.[3][4]
