As soon as you enter, the Halloween atmosphere sets in. France's 117 iconic monuments, reproduced on a 1/30 scale, are decked out in their most macabre finery. Bats, giant spiders, skeletons and mysterious creatures have taken up residence on the miniature Eiffel Tower, the Château de Chenonceau and all the other sites in the park. The atmosphere oscillates between fun and minor scares, just right for a family outing during the All Saints' Day vacations without traumatizing the young ones.

For Halloween 2026, a fresh adventure unfolds within the park. This year, Ankou, the famed figure of Breton folklore, has uncovered a mysterious secret. Visitors can follow the quest to its end by using a game booklet, tracing and solving the various challenges.

France Miniature is easily reachable from Paris, just 25 kilometers away. You can get there from La Verrière station via the N lines from Paris Montparnasse or the U line from La Défense. The park opens on weekends, public holidays, and during school holidays. Hours vary by season, so it’s worth checking the official France Miniature site before heading out. After the Toussaint holidays, the park closes for the winter to refresh itself.

For this family-friendly Halloween outing, expect roughly €28 per adult and €22 per child aged 4–11. Online tickets bought through the park’s site often come with discounted rates, a tip not to be missed. A paid parking is available on-site. The park offers two restaurants and picnic areas for those who prefer to bring their own snacks. Plan at least a half-day to fully enjoy the Halloween experience and explore the park’s 25 attractions and experiences.

This Halloween season at France Miniature is a great chance to discover or rediscover this unique park, which lets you tour France in a single day. Among miniature monuments dressed with a spooky flair, families will have plenty to do and plenty to thrill each other before the park’s winter closure. A outing that blends culture, fun and a few scares—a perfect cocktail to celebrate Halloween without tipping into nightmares.

Happy All Saints' Day and Halloween to all!
