YouTube Video Description

Bonjour! Join us as we venture off Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas and make our way to Coulon, France from the port at La Rochelle. As big fans of Epcot Center and the "Impressions de France" show, we were thrilled to get to live out a scene from the film - the opening scene along the Marais Potievin canal, also known as the "Green Venice." It was a great day for a boat ride, as we explored the charming small town and took in the beautiful scenery. There's also lots of fun on the ship that you won't want to miss - from pool time, dining, and lounging, to watching talented Illusionist, Jamie Allan, wow us in the Royal theater with his impressive act.
