France Miniature is an open-air park featuring 117 scale models of French landmarks and monuments set within a five-hectare landscape shaped like a map of France. The models are rendered at a 1:30 scale and represent significant French heritage sites, including the Eiffel Tower, the Château de Chambord, and the port of Saint-Tropez. The park incorporates 15,000 miniature trees and shrubs that are pruned to scale alongside the architectural displays. A network of 4 kilometers of miniature railway tracks carries running trains through the park's topography. The attraction includes interactive zones and rides designed for family participation. Visitors navigate the park along paths that follow the geographical layout of France, from the Mediterranean coast to the northern borders.
