The Home of the March Hare


Not far from Mad Hatter's Tea Cups in Fantasyland at Disneyland Paris is March Hare Refreshments. The offerings at this snack stand could easily be vended from a cart, but here we find a tiny cottage straight out of Alice in Wonderland. The crooked angles, from the chimney pipe to the windows, the thatched roof and the cartoonish bulge of the structure all serve to transport us down the rabbit hole into another world.

The tea party motif carries on here, as well. Teacups serve as lights to illuminate the sign in front of the shop, and in the seating area nearby is a giant teapot. Keep your eyes open. You may just spot the Dormouse, peeking his head out.


There are only a few tables adjacent to March Hare Refreshments... or are there? Just as in the film, the curious are rewarded with new discoveries. Step through this little gate, and you'll find a secret garden with plenty of lovely places to sit and enjoy your snack.


Just half a cup for me, if you don't mind.
