If you're dreaming of travelling around France in a day, while entertaining your children with a variety of attractions, then France Miniature is the place for you. Come and take a children's tour of France, near Elancourt in the Yvelines. Scheduled to reopen on Saturday, March 30, 2024.

How about discovering France in miniature? Just 20 minutes from Porte d'Auteuil and 10 minutes from Versailles, on a 5-hectare site, come and help your children discover the most beautiful monuments and landscapes in scale models.

For this new 2024 season, France Miniature is focusing on sport, inclusivity and biodiversity. As a result, all the park's signage will be changed. The France of Legends immersive investigation will be renewed in 2024, and will be life-size. It is said that the fairy Morgane wants to bewitch the legendary creatures of our regions: with the help of a set of maps, travel around France as a family to thwart the fairy's plans and save the country!
