Instead of visiting public chateaux this year, we opted to go to Mini Chateaux, which is a miniatures park that has 44 of the Loire Valley’s chateaux in 1:25 scale. What made this park especially cool wasn’t the models, it was the sword fighting section. The kids were so excited when they got to put on squire’s tunics and were given styrofoam swords to fight with. Here they are posed with real weapons; there was little risk of them fighting with them since they could hardly lift them. Afterwards, they were each knighted and presented with a certificate.
