This is probably one of the first stops you should make on your visit to the Loire Valley as not only will it impress the kids (the younger ones anyway -no computer generated effects for the older ones) but will give you the chance to preview the chateaux to allow you to decide which ones to visit. The one thing for sure is it won't be them all!.
You will view miniature models of the most famous
chateaux of the Loire region and admire the
quality of the
reproductions. The park spread out along a
route of 1.5 km and in addition to the chateaux th
ere are miniature
railways, with the whole site landscaped with
small shrubs and bonsais trees to complete the effect.
Tip:
Bit overpriced so save money by buying joint-ticket for here and Aquarium de Loire.
