Does anyone know about a model village/railway museum in the French speaking part of Switzerland?

My 4-year-old son is a railway nut and I'd really like to take him there - but I can't remember for the life of me what the place is called - or if it exists only in my imagination!

It's the vapeur parc - 4 year old boy heaven. Enjoy!
And the aqua parc is nearby too.

Thank you so much - I knew I wasn't imagining things!

Swiss Vapeur park on the southern side of Lac Léman, near Montreux.

A model village with lots of ride-on minature trains, your son will love it.

Swiss Vapeur Park is fab, we go there all the time - even doable on wet days. There's a big indoor/outdoor water park next door to it.

HEALTH WARNING - adults should not squeeze into the model 'Swiss panoramic' carriages on sunny days. They have glass roofs and are mini-greenhouses and you will faint after two circuits of the track. (There are thousands of pictures and videos if you google image search 'Swiss Vapeur Park)
