“Ratatouille” is actually a French dish that was featured in the film. But the team behind Ratatouille: The Adventure in Disneyland Paris took things to a whole new level for the park’s visitors by opening a vegetable garden. Potager Ratatouille is close to one of the hotels in the porperty, Cheyenne. The produce from the garden includes white eggplants, golden marconi peppers, and a wide variety of tomatoes like pink, orange, white, and black ones. Visitors can sample the popular dish at Chez Rémy, a gourmet restaurant in the park that utilizes unusual ingredients from the vegetable garden.

Disneyland Paris is located in Marne-la-Vallée in the Seine-et-Marne department. The region also has other attractions like the UNESCO World Heritage site Château of Fontainebleau. This grand palace has been around for over eight centuries and is still inhabited.
