France Miniature: 2026 programme, attractions and new features at the family park in Yvelines

If you dream of touring France in a single day while keeping the kids entertained with a lineup of attractions, don’t hesitate—France Miniature is for you. Come explore the country at a child’s scale, near Élancourt in the Yvelines. Reopening scheduled for Saturday, April 4, 2026.

How about (re)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 2026 season, France Miniature is launching under the themes of sport, inclusivity, and biodiversity. As a result, all of the park’s signage will be revamped. Also, the France of Legends, the brand-new immersive investigation, gets refreshed in 2024 and brought to life in full scale. There are whispers that the Fairy Morgane intends to enchant the legendary creatures of our regions: with a set of cards, families can journey across France to outwit the fairy and save the country!

As soon as you arrive in France Miniature's leafy parking lot, you feel transported to another world. Here you are, in a lovely landscaped park, out for a walk with the kids. You're constantly on the lookout for grandiose, larger-than-life 1/30th-scale sites and monuments.

From theArc de Triomphe to the Théâtre d'Orange, from the Village of Saint-Emilion to the Château de Montmaur, not forgetting the volcanoes of Auvergne, the Châteaux of the Loire or the Place Stanislas in Nancy, the beauty of France's heritage is revealed to you and your children. It's as you stroll down the aisles that you realize just how many remarkable sites there are to discover in France.

Do you think this tour will bore the kids? You'll be surprised at the opposite. Not only do they love it, but most of them want to come back again, because here, not only do we discover our country's monuments, but above all, we take part in fun installations and games.

You can test your strength at Fort Boyard, try your hand at drawing King Arthur's sword, ring northern bells on a trampoline, slide down a hill or duel.

Since 2019, the Cirque des Zinzins also awaits acrobats. Hidden within the famous Zotos course is a suspended course 4 meters high. Suitable for all ages from 1 metre upwards, this space lets you take on 20 acrobatic workshops.

The park renews itself and offers activities to keep children interacting and entertained. Since April 2022, families have been able to choose their camp and tribe in the Koh Lanta universe integrated into the park. This new 370 m² area offers children the chance to take part in activities based on the show's codes.

The Warriors menu includes strategy games, water games and evasion games. Of course, as you can imagine, we can't pass up the mythical challenge of the poles, not forgetting that we'll also have to go in search of an immunity necklace for the chance to take possession of the famous Totem.

This area, ideal for warm weather days, is sure to appeal to adventurers in search of a little coolness. You'll be running under the water, jumping, decanting and watering everyone in sight thanks to the water cannons available.

They can also transform themselves into budding archaeologists. Using shovels and sieves, they set off in search of Gallo-Roman and medieval treasures. Children can unearth pearls, gold and silver buttons, mosaics from the Gallo-Roman era, jewelry, coins and keys from the medieval period.

A new-generation prehistoric cave also awaits you. The Lascaux-inspired cave takes you back almost 18,000 years. You can reproduce cave paintings on a touch screen. A choice of 18 drawings is available. At your disposal: flint for engraving, brushes, paintbrushes and blowpipes for projecting pigments and coloring in a variety of ways to satisfy even the most rigorous creators. And finally, what could be more glorious than to see your creation projected onto the cave wall, alongside the permanent creations!

If you're hanging around the Château de Versailles, be sure to liven up the famous fountains as they were in the days of Louis XIV.

And for the past few years, France Miniature has also been opening the doors of Fort Boyard. Enter Père Fouras ' lair and discover the council chamber as if you were at Fort Boyard. Inside, 7 challenges await you. Just like on the TV game show, you'll be challenged to a series of games of skill and reflection.

Answer Father Fouras ' riddles and face the Time Master. And finally, test your agility and strength in the cotton swab challenge. Can you keep your balance while knocking over your opponent?

And don't forget that France Miniature also has a whole range of self-service attractions for non-stop fun.

In 2018, the park was enriched by the voice of Monsieur Patrimoine. Indeed, 12 favorite sites and monuments are enriched with Stéphane Bern's explanations and anecdotes. There's no need for an audioguide, just swipe your smartphone over the QR Codes on some of the presentation plaques to launch the presentation.

This makes for an even richer visit, and you'll come away having learned a lot of history. A real treat.
