France in a Day


There is a park just outside of Paris and features over one hundred famous landmarks. The park is composed of twelve acres that have been sculptured to represent the shape of France with the landmarks situated in their approximate locations.
We walked through the Alps, across the Loire Valley, from chateau to chateau. Peered down on cathedrals and abbeys, thoroughly enjoying a unique view of France and many of the attractions we had already visited in person. We also began a list of things to see.
The detail in many of the models was incredible. Many of the villages that were depicted had tiny people sitting in cafes or tending their gardens. Miniature trains and cars ran through the park, people water skied, wind surfed, hang glided, and fished, all in miniature to give the park a dynamic feel.
There was also a pic-nick area and a few rides for young and old alike. And of course a restaurant and cafe to help maintain your stamina on your journey across France.
