An animated light and sound tour transports you to the land of the infinitely small to the whim of the owner and different landscapes reconstituted with such attention to detail that it almost perceive the breath of life: 310 m² models, over 450 m of rails, a collection of 250 locomotives, 450 cars, 650 houses, all illuminated by hundreds of lights. You can also enjoy the garden, installed in a train (for reasons of comfort, scale is changed!). Visit the old lime kilns. Inflatable games now space to delight the little ones ... Fast food opening hours. One last stop at the store to stock up on souvenirs and local products: apple juice, cider, pommel, calvados ... A journey that will delight young and old.

I visited with my 5 year old son, whilst on holiday in the area. I expected the exhibition to be similar to other (smaller!) ones that we had visited previously, however this was something different. On arriving at the exhibition it became apparent that access to it runs to a timetable. This is because it is more of a show, than a simple constantly running model. Fortunately we arrived shortly before the next show started (these are every 45-60 minutes or so). We were greeted by the owner (and son of the late founder), who gave a talk and guided tour of the exhibition scenes, before embarking on a really good 'performance' of the exhibition. It was so different to what we have seen before and really impressive - the life's work of the founder and his son. On site there is also a large bouncy train for children to play on, a miniature train ride around the gardens and a separate exhibition covering the development of the former quarry site. The whole place is really well kept and presented. I would recommend a visit!

Le musée, créé par l’Association des Amis de la Comtesse de Ségur en 1980, est installé dans l’ancien presbytère, à l'ombre de la belle église d'Aube, et près des Nouettes. Trois salles permanentes présentent la vie et l’œuvre de la Comtesse de Ségur, et la quatrième salle est consacrée aux expositions annuelles. Venez y retrouver un peu de votre enfance en suivant Camille, Madeleine, Jacques ou Paul, et bien d’autres encore, au château de Fleurville, dans leurs multiples péripéties extraites des romans de la Bibliothèque Rose… et découvrez ou redécouvrez la Comtesse de Ségur, qui bien au-delà de la littérature pour enfants, a été un extraordinaire témoin de son époque.
