The next time you plan your fantasy round the world trip don’t forget to list down a visit to the miniature park in Elancourt, which resides the many wonders of France in one comparative, small park. No wonder Victor Hugo had a premonition of this great architectural perfection on which he had quoted, “The image of a thing is much more breathtaking than the thing itself…”. Miniature Park France 1

Its initial magic has remained fresh and strong; and each visit adds to geographic insights about France. The 12-acre park is a miniaturized re-creation of the country.

Villages, churches, Paul Bocuse’s famous restaurant, the Tour Eiffel, the Arc de Triomphe, Chateau of Chambord, Amiens Cathedral and models of about a hundred-fifty of France’s most important historic monuments, touristic and cultural locales — all painstakingly crafted and meticulously detailed.
