At this point, a reopening date for the attraction isn’t known. Impressions de France is an opening day attraction EPCOT. Since 2020, it has shared its theater with the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along. The sing-along is generally offered throughout most of the day with the original show being shown at park opening and closing. Below is video of the attraction that was taken by the Daps Magic team:
