PARIS (CP) - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck will mark Quebec's national holiday Tuesday by sharing poutine with visitors to EuroDisney.
The Quebec gastronomic combination of french fries, cheese curds and gravy will be served in the village between the main Disney theme park and the golf course and hotels. Disney Village's bars and restaurants "will allow people to eat in the atmosphere of a true American city," the theme park boasts in its advertising.
The poutine being served up Tuesday with be made with a sauce specially imported from Quebec, the ad said. The fries and cheese will come from France.
Access to the village is free, but a helping of poutine will go for about $7.80 Cdn.
The celebration will also mark Quebec's Fete nationale with "a voyage of songs and laughs with our Canadian cousins."
Visitors can also purchase maple syrup, beer, wood ducks and other Quebec products. Singer Daniel Berthiaume and composer-author Simon Genest were invited to entertain in an open-air concert.
It will be the first time that EuroDisney will mark June 24 among its roster of promotional activities.
"If the public joins in, we will do it again next year," said a Disney spokesman.
Quebec was featured last Christmas when provincial products were sold and singer Rock Voisine, originally from New Brunswick, performed.
More than 100 million people have visited Disneyland Paris since it opened in 1992.
