Belle's Library in France?

[WaltD4Me]

Has anyone been to Belle's Library in France? How is it? Is it worth a trip into the World Showcase just for that? Where exactly is it?

We aren't planning on too much time in Epcot this trip, mostly just going there to see Turtle Talk with Crush, but I read somewhere about Belle's Library in France and was thinking of taking time to go check it out. I figure if
some DIS'ers give it a thumbs up, we can walk to France and then catch the boat to MGM since it's sort of nearby.

I didn't even know this existed! I'd love to hear more!

It is actually the back half of a perfume store, if I remember right. It has a nice stained glass with the rose/beast/beauty and a big chair and some books on the wall. Beast and Belle do meet and greets in there or right outside. The CMs can tell you what time they are expected to appear.

Wouldn't make a whole trip for it, although if you'll already be there for Crush....

I had my picture taken with Sleeping Beauty there last year, too. I didn't realize hers was a French fairy tale,but she said, Oh, yes, I'm originally from France.

My DD5 had her picture taken there with the Beast. Its a perfect background for the photo. But again we ran into the Beast just as he was headed back there. I don't think I would have known about it otherwise since I was not reading these wonderful boards at the time!

We had our picture taken with Belle and the beast when we stumbled into the library right when they were there...unless you're looking for a picture with the characters, I don't know that it's quite "special trip" worthy though, IMO. I also don't remember if the books were real or just a facade; if memory serves, they may have been glued down, like in the library at ToT.

Oh, I'm going to have to do this! I love Beauty and the Beast and would love to get a picture with them!

If meeting Belle is a priority, I would definatly check make the trip. It's a great spot to find her. I've seen the Beast there sometimes, but on the last few times I was there he was not. Aurora was though.

We met Belle and the Beast there on our last trip, and found Sleeping Beauty just outside in the courtyard. It was a charming little room.
