Driving in Paris As I mentioned in my article, I definitely do not recommend driving in Paris, but a car is the most enjoyable way to see these beautiful places around Paris. As I said, we were in a car, Amboisefrom my favorite Chenonceaux CastleWe were going to , and Devrim, who was looking at the online map on the road, suddenly said, “Oh, there is an interesting park here.”, we suddenly turned the steering wheel in that direction and decided to postpone our visit to the castle a little bit, but without leaving the route, we also squeezed in Mini Châteaux Park. I'm glad we did so; I visited one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life. This is how the article Mini Châteaux was written; Now, those of you who have the means will stop by here while visiting that region and say hello to me; Can there be greater happiness than this?
You leave your car in the parking lot in front of the park and walk towards the entrance. In the entrance area, there is a box office and a simple shop selling souvenirs. Frankly, we were a little hesitant about whether to go in due to the simplicity of the entrance, since we did not know exactly what was inside, but “But we've come this far, let's go in and take a look." we bought our tickets and entered the park, we're glad we did 😉
First of all, the day you go to visit this park The weather must be nice, at least without rain, so that you can enjoy it. The first thing that catches your attention as soon as you enter the park is the mini park whose photo you see above. Bugatti Children traveling on a rail with cars have fun.

For younger children, it is again at the entrance, but this time on the left, as you can see the photo below. small horse drawn carriages there.

If you enter Mini Châteaux Park this way and start walking from the left side 2 hectares in the park 1,5 Mileage You are making the most ideal tour. Approximately of your trip 1,5 hours I guess it will last, but of course it all depends on your walking speed, your love of taking photos, and how much time your child wants to spend at the attractions in the park 😉
It is not possible for me to introduce all the models in Mini Châteaux Park one by one; All of them will be written in detail in the brochure, but as soon as you start your trip, see number 2.

While walking around the park, when we came across something like this to take a souvenir photo with, I wondered if I would stop and take a photo right away... Although it was a little weird with the sunglasses on, I had a lot of fun taking the photo. You complete our trip by having fun like this, and by taking a full tour around the park, you reach the entrance again, that is, where you started. In fact, we had a hard time restraining ourselves from taking another tour, but Chenonceau CastleWe had to go to , so we left the park, and as we left, we said "what a good thing we did to visit." I hope you say so too.
In fact, this park is much larger in Paris. France ThumbnailThere are also but especially Loire Valley CastlesBelieve me, it is much more meaningful to visit Mini Châteaux Park while visiting . Because it is so easy to go and reach the castles you like while wandering around the park.
