I don't think it's actually Vincent Price. I think it's an impersonator, but a very good one.
Got this from Doombuggies.com:

When Disneyland Paris first opened (then called "Euro Disneyland,") Phantom Manor contained an opening spiel very similar to that of the American "Ghost Host." Being an English-only feature, this verbage was quickly discontinued once the park's demographics were more clearly understood. In fact, while the other Haunted Mansions contain a running narration, Phantom Manor manages to carry a much more coherent storyline with no narration at all.

However, this original introduction was especially notable as it was delivered by the inimitable monster-movie maverick Vincent Price (right), a veteran of numerous spook shows and creepy films.

Madame Leota's incantations (voiced by veteran actress Oona Lind) are also a bit different in Paris... her predictions are more eerie, and take on a malevolent tone as she reads tarot cards and predicts a "ravishing bride, but a vanishing groom..." Her verbage is also delivered bilingually.
