France Miniature
France on a miniature scale
Enjoy a unique experience at France Miniature not far from Versailles, on the edge of the Parc Naturel Régional de la Haute Vallée de Chevreuse. This unusual theme park has more than 120 miniature monuments in grounds of 5 hectares, with a total of 2,000 models representing the heritage of 6 regions of France. Walk around models of the Eiffel Tower, Mont-Saint-Michel and lots more like a modern-day Gulliver !
France Miniature is a fun, interactive outing for all the family. Children can take charge of the fountains of Versailles in the time of the Sun King or take part in archaeological digs and do cave paintings in the Centre region. France Miniature is more than a local curiosity, it is a fun, historical theme park and a wonderfully rewarding place for a family afternoon out.
France – an adventure playground
Not content with enabling children and grownups to discover Amiens Cathedral, the ancient theatre at Orange and the Basilica at Lourdes, France Miniature is also an amazing play park. There are not many places where you can be in the middle of the Arles arena one minute and among chalets in the Alps the next ! To add to the fun, there are numerous attractions for youngsters. ‘Tête en l’Air’ takes children above a replica of the English Channel in an individual seat. At Ronde des Zotos, youngsters drive an electric car through miniature landscapes of France. Have fun with gravity at Pile ou Face (Heads or Tails), have a race on an 8m high slide or go climbing in total safety at T’es pas Cap’.
Into the wild at Rambouillet
After plunging into the history and heritage of France, continue your discovery tour of Yvelines at nearby Rambouillet national forest. The dense, varied forest is well-known for its deer, 92km of footpaths and 60km of cycle tracks, but that is not all it has to offer ! Environmentally-friendly activities include half-day tree-climbing courses and accompanying forest wardens to get close to wildlife. After the fun and laughter of France Miniature, take some time to get close to nature.
