While the tourist focus of France for the last hundred years has been the Eiffel Tower, the icon plays a mercifully minor role here. Yes, it exists as a shrunken replica best seen from across the lagoon, but the French have instead chosen to direct their attention to French culture, and have done a wonderful job. From an architectural standpoint, the buildings mirror those that would line a street in Paris down to the last detail. And the passageway between the La Signature and Plume et Palette stores is designed to look like the city's now-famous Metro stations. Most people will miss the brilliance of the landscaping, which was taken from the painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jutte" by Georges Seurat. The illusion is nearly complete thanks to poor service in the gift shops, just like in France, except the people in Florida aren't nearly rude enough.
