Note that these are not tiny species, but classic trees such as lime or oak, which take on a miniature appearance when pruned. Trimmed several times a year, some of them require nearly 200 hours of work! We invite you to take the time to contemplate these veritable works of art.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/Amboise\/n-f2x5VR\/Parc-mini-chateaux\/i-9XwhgwQ\/0\/G9W6Vsv6Dn8hSNxGFfq4rqT3SKTKxDhz2RnfrHCG\/L\/parc-des-mini-chateaux-amboise-35-L.jpg\" alt=\"Model of the Ch&#xE2;teau de Champchevrier at the Parc des Mini Ch&#xE2;teaux in Amboise\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Model of Ch\u00e2teau de Champchevrier<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Note also that the miniature gardens reproduce the structure of castle gardens.

Our <a href=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/en\/best-castles-loire-valley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">favorite Loire Valley ch\u00e2teau<\/a> is also our favorite model.
