 Loire Valley- Mini Chateaux Land

entrance to mini chateaux

The mini chateaux park just outside Amboise is probably one of the first stops you should consider on your visit to the Loire Valley with children as not only will it impress the kids (the younger ones anyway, no computer generated effects for the older ones) but it 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 there are miniature railways, with the whole site landscaped with small shrubs and bonsais trees to complete the effect. The kids have the choice of period costumes to wear during their visit -which can add to the general fun! Can be an expensive day out for a large family and you need to take your own drinks /snacks with you.

Tip:

Bit overpriced so save money by buying joint-ticket for here and Aquarium de Loire.
