(Last Update: 11.09.2024) It is a wonderful place that you can visit around Paris, and it is very enjoyable not only for children, but also for those who can always keep the child inside them alive. model park one France ThumbnailWe will get to know all together in this article. Especially if you are one of those who turned your nose up and postponed your trip for a long time, like me, you will regret it as much as I did :)
But never mind, sooner or later, no matter where we turn from the loss, there will be profit; so don't waste your time Where is France Miniature, what is there to see and do in this park, how to get there, what to eat and drink, what other attractions it offers., let's answer these questions together:
France Miniature (french miniature or fğans minyatüğ) A giant 35-hectare park located approximately 5 kilometers southwest of Paris. In this park History of France and from its cultural heritage 117 monuments, castles, cities, villages, churches, cathedrals, ports, castles, etc. providing examples There are impressive models such as: The best part is that these models are lined up in a wonderful track and are in a lush atmosphere.
Disneyland ParisI thought France Miniature, which was opened in 1991, a year before, was somewhere far away, but when I realized it was You can go from Paris center with a single train.; July 2017 In the middle of it, we said, "Let's jump in and go"; going that going; I can't explain how much I liked it and how impressed I was. I say I can't explain, but I will, don't worry:
Of course, it would be much more comfortable to go to France Miniature with your private vehicle, but I am here just for you. commuter train I wanted to try it and went here by train. For access to France Miniature's web page, which you can access at the end of the article. DefenseDeparting from and last stop The Canopy one U line trains are recommended. Also Montparnasse Train Stationshield from N line there is. We went with the U line, but sometimes there may be work on both lines (especially in summer); That's why you may need to transfer from places like Saint Cloud.
In any case 1 - 5 areas you must have a ticket. If weekly Daily/Weekly/Monthly NavigoIf you have a card, you are lucky, your card is valid here. After a journey of approximately half an hour - forty-five minutes To reach France Miniature The Canopy You get off at the station. Exit from the right side of the station and use the stops there. Take one of the buses number 420, 422 or 459 You get on and get off at the "France Miniature" stop, which you will reach after about 10-15 minutes. 420 is available every day, the other two do not operate on Sundays. Don't forget to check the current information on the official website.
When you get off the bus at the stop and turn left, you will see a large roundabout. You cross straight across the right side of that intersection and start walking on the right side of the tree-lined road. There are only meadows, grass, trees and roads... And cars pass by from time to time.
This road is like heaven. As I walked, it reminded me of the green roads in Washington DC, where I stayed in the USA in 1999. A little further on you will see the France Miniature sign, and just ahead from the pedestrian bridge on the right You pass through and reach the main entrance, the photo of which you see above. If you come by car, parking is right here.
Buying tickets online is always more advantageous. fortunately Buying tickets online for Disneyand Paris It's not that complicated. You can find the latest prices, current promotions and other information from the links at the end of the article.
You show the ticket you bought online to the ticket office at the entrance, they give you a separate ticket for entry and ask if you are coming by car. If If you come with your private car, you need to pay the parking fee to this cash register. and then you go in. The first place you enter is extremely simple, one cannot help but wonder, "Is this here?" But if you start your trip from the left side according to the recommended travel route, your mouth will slowly start to open :)
All models are numbered and If you want to see it on the most ideal track, I recommend you to follow the track order in the mini brochure given to you and obey the direction signs. Otherwise, if you try to travel on your own, you may miss many things without seeing them. That's why this I would like to underline the importance of adhering to the track issue.
Although the track may change from time to time due to renovation works, theoretically France should be the first alpine region Models of the side welcome you. You start climbing a small ramp. “Oh how cute" while making cute expressions, the models gradually become more impressive. For example, imagining how big and magnificent the graffiti on a dam model could really be was one of the most special moments for me.
And when I reached the top of the first hill, the view of the large pond below gave me the first impression of how big a park I was in. What a big place! While we were saying, "The sound of cow bells is coming and it never ends, where does this sound come from?", we realized that they had made cow bells of various sizes for children, the children kept hitting them, and the sound was coming from them. Will we stop too, we stole too :)
Then we went down the winding path to the pond below. Found in this first pond Saint Tropez The model was very impressive, the one on the left Island of Corsica It was impressive. Then the container transport game for children seemed interesting; You should definitely let your child try it. No lie, I have to say that before I came, I had a prejudice like "let's go and look at the models of the places we visited in France" and how wrong I was about this:
I thought I had seen the most important places to see in France. All this time I have already seen at least 20-30 cities and visited many villages, what more could there be left? But not sir, such a thing in France cultural heritage However, while visiting this park, I realized that even if I visited it for the rest of my life, I would not be able to finish it.. After a while you feel bad already :)
So far in France Paris except Strasbourg, Colmar, Mulhouse, Besançon, Annecy, Lyon, Menton, Nice, Cannes , Antibes, Aix-en-Provences, Montpellier, Hyères, Saint Cyprian, Perpignan, Carcassonne, Tulouse, Toulon, Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Limoges, Nantes, Rennes, Quimper, Brest, Saint Malo, Caen, Rouen, Amiens, Lille, Orleans, Blois, Tours, Dijon, Nancy, Biarritz, Bayonne, Saint Jean de Luz And I have visited many places whose names cannot come to my mind right now, but since I have seen at most one fifth of the works in this park, it means I have a long way to go. How can a country be this beautiful? How can we finish all of them, it's a shame for us :)
Fortunately, seeing the models of all of them together in France Miniature gives some peace of mind, but believe me, the real version of what you see is much more impressive; because they are all still in place. in Istanbul MiniatureThose who travel around know it. Models of many historical monuments show "what they would look like if they were all standing today." Therefore, you cannot see a significant part of what you see in real life, but The reality of every model you see at France Miniature is waiting for you in a corner of France with the reality of what you see.
Also, the biggest misfortune of Miniaturk in Istanbul is that, although it is located on a magnificent geography like the Golden Horn, the hills on which it sits are full of tasteless apartments that are more than slums. So, when you want to take a photo, no matter how hard you try not to reflect the bitter reality of 21st century Istanbul in your photo, it doesn't help; those tasteless buildings always appear in the frame. Since France Miniature is built in the most greenery and France is a very green country, you can enjoy the models you see and take photos of them to your heart's content.
France Miniature and Istanbul Miniaturk except until today Amboise'On Mini Chateaux, in Den Haag Madurodam and in Hamburg Miniatur WunderlandI also visited and I must say that Madurodam did not impress me as much as France Miniature, but Miniatur Wunderland has an incredible presentation and its workmanship is very special. Its only difference is that it is indoors and can be visited in summer and winter. Mini Chateaux ve France Miniature is a place that can only be visited in summer and in good weather.
Yes France Miniature is only open during certain times of the year. We can say that it is generally open from the beginning of April to the beginning of November, but it is closed on certain days and weeks during this period. Therefore, before planning to visit this place, be sure to of France Miniature You need to look at the calendar of open dates.. If the weather is not nice, it would not be meaningful to go to this park. It doesn't have to be sunny, I think a day without rain is enough. Also, the earlier you go, the better everything is when things are calmer. The park opens at 10:00 every morning, and the closing time may be 17:00, 18:00 or 19:00 depending on the season.
There are two areas to eat in the park. When you are halfway through your trip, that is, after seeing the Basque village at number 68, you reach the first food and beverage area. We have here my favorite duck dish canard confit We ate it but I have to say they didn't make it very well. Maybe you can try something else and share your experiences with us.
I wish we had not been in a hurry, because there is another food and beverage section just ahead, whose veranda over the water was much more attractive; I would eat there if I knew :) There are also different attraction areas for children in the area where the food and beverage sections are located. In fact, you or your child can participate in these fun games not only for children but also for adults.
You don't pay any fee for these, you just have to line up and wait. The most entertaining ones seemed to be the big slide, the boat jumping into the water, and the cable car. Frankly, I haven't tried any of them, maybe you can try them and share your experiences with us.
If you continue on your way after eating something, resting for a while, and attending a few attractions, you will continue to encounter impressive models. After this part, we slowly start to come to the parts that everyone knows: Triumphal Arch – Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Palace of Versailles, Castle of Saint Germain, Invalides, Vaux le Vicomte Castle, Notre Dame Cathedral, Concorde Square, Sacre Coeur Basilica, Moulin Rouge Models of important works in Paris and its surroundings, such as, are waiting for you in this section.
But until you get here, you encounter so many beautiful models in the park that this part does not affect you any more, you just feel like you are in a more familiar environment because you come across something more familiar. Especially Palace of VersaillesIt becomes even more impressive to understand the size of the model here.
One of the models that surprised me to see at France Miniature Grande Mosquée de Paris – Great Mosque of ParisIt became a model of . Frankly, I was not aware that this mosque in the center of Paris was such a large complex. Other parisian Maybe it's because it seems to get lost among the buildings. On my next visits, I will think about its location in Paris once again through this model.
In my opinion the best place in France mind blowing a chateau located in the Loire Valley Chambord Castle and one of the most aesthetic castles Chenonceau Castle's models are equally impressive. Already one day Loire Valley Castles Tour while doing there castle model park Mini ChateauxYou will also visit 😉 The exquisite monastery in the middle of the island The Mont Saint MichelThe model of 's part creates the same feeling as the real thing.
Stade de FranceI don't know if it was necessary, but man Defenseat least La Grande Arche de la DefenseHe also wants to see; Who knows, maybe they will add it in the future. AmiensHaving visited the cathedrals in , Strasbourg, Orléans and many more did not cause my life to flash before my eyes like a movie strip.
And also Strasbourg Colmar between awesome Haut Koenigsbourg CastleIt touched me very much to see the model of . It was a few years ago, we were touristy then; We rented a car and were traveling between Strasbourg and Colmar. By the time we could barely reach this amazing castle, it was past closing time and we couldn't tour the inside. I tried to go a couple more times but I couldn't make it. fortunately June 2019′on Alsace We were lucky enough to see this castle from the world's eyes during our tour.
Last LyonWe complete France Miniature with a general model of , and we end our trip confused about which one of the models we admire, without understanding whether the fatigue we feel is due to walking or admiring. If you still have the strength, you can take another quick tour of the park.
For now, we have contented ourselves with seeing these models, but I am sure that you will complete your trip with great enthusiasm to see the originals of what we saw in all corners of France. But for now, you have to return to Paris. If you do not have a car, you can walk back to the stop where you got off the bus and get on the bus from the bus stop opposite. The Canopy You can go to the station and from there if you wish. Defenseto, if you wish Gare MontparnasseYou can return to .
Pleasant trips, pleasant discoveries…

Hello again, Mr. Ahmet. We included France Miniature in our travel program. While I was reviewing your article, a question came to my mind. Will this region be defined as the 5th Zone? Is the Navigo card valid when taking the buses numbered 410-411-412, or is it necessary to purchase a separate ticket? Thank you in advance for your answers. I offer my greetings from Amasya.
