One of the sites we visited in France recently was Petit Paris which is situated just out of Negrepellisse. The owner didn’t speak much English but I gather some of the display was once in Marseilles but had been abandoned for ten years before he bought it and moved the whole thing to its present site. He has also added a lot more models both of particular buildings and of other French landmarks and heritage sites.
I liked all the little ‘trees’ pruned into square shapes.

@AbbyGreenhill I'd love to set up a miniature something too.

That is a fabulously detailed scale model far better than a similar (not Paris) scale model I saw in the Netherlands.

It is a really wonderful miniature Paris! I think it was hard to miniaturize those buildings in a certain proportion .

We have been through a great number of small villages but haven't bothered about visiting the larger cities. It is too difficult to find somewhere to park with the motor-home.

Yes, it is small and you have to be careful where you put your feet.

WOW that looks like a nice model must have taken him a long time to make that. It is interesting.
