Jardin des Trains Ardéchois, Model railway theme park in Soyons, France.
The garden spreads across 2800 square meters featuring miniature trains running through stations, tunnels, and rivers among 900 bonsai trees and 1000 figurines.
Founded by a retired SNCF railway worker, the park opened its doors in 1991 and underwent a revival in 2008 when young entrepreneurs took over the management.
The miniature displays at scale 1:22 represent significant regional landmarks including Pont d'Arc, Mont Gerbier de Jonc, and the Castle of Crussol.
The park operates from March through November, with standard admission prices of 8.80 euros for adults and 6.50 euros for children over three years old.
Twelve model trains traverse 750 meters of track while audio systems reproduce authentic sounds from different historical railway periods.
