Scenes from a Mining Town

Most of my photos from Disneyland Paris' Frontierland focus on the exquisite Phantom Manor or Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, so today, I'm presenting a quartet of photos that just showcase the general ambiance of the area (two of which do technically feature the wildest ride in the French wilderness).  The atmosphere may be familiar to those who love the original Disneyland's Frontierland, but in Paris, I feel the environment is dialed up with even more Western detail and romance.  The architecture feels richer, and there's a greater rustic vibe.  Not bad for a town that's cursed by the spectre of its greedy founder!
