The 41st edition of the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) is back in September! This not-to-be-missed event for history buffs and the curious will be held on September 21 and 22, 2024 at many of the region's monuments and museums, with a host of exceptional cultural events. Amusement parks are also getting in on the act, with France Miniature inviting parents and children to come and discover the country from a different angle, as well as to take part in original events focusing on the"Heritage of routes, networks and connections", this year's theme.
Located in Elancourt, Yvelines, France Miniature is a must-see park for families. This miniature reconstruction of France, planted on a 5-hectare site, features no fewer than 117 faithfully reproduced monuments and sites emblematic of the country, as well as 130 varied landscapes, from picturesque villages to stations animated by an impressive railway circuit. A true XXS Tour de France!
For the first time, visitors will have the opportunity to discover the secrets behind the making of the trains, from their design to their installation on track. It's a unique opportunity to meet the park's model-makers, who will be showcasing their expertise: piloting 16 train circuits in the heart of France in miniature, covering an average of 50 kilometers a day.
A technical feat to which they add the desire to pay tribute to France's historical and industrial heritage. These model-makers are passionate about recreating emblematic trains that have left their mark on French history, and running them in their home regions.
All these activities are offered at the same price as park admission, at no extra charge. We advise you to come early, as places may be limited.
So, if you're looking for an original family outing for the weekend of September 21st to 22nd, think of France Miniature and its Heritage Days!
