Description: |
|
One place which is a must is Les Machines de I’ile for a once in
a life time experience that is very unique and magical. It is
situated in a former ship yard on the Loire River. The concept
comes from the creative minds of Francoise Delaroziere and
Pierre Orefice and is “located at the crossroads of the invented
worlds of Jules Vernes, the mechanical universe of Leonardo di
Vinci and the industrial history of Nantes”. You will most
likely see a giant model elephant as you enter the grounds.
You can wander around for free or buy a ticket to see displays
of “animals” that have been created and you can buy a ticket to
ride the elephant. The elephant is 40 feet high and composed of
wood and metal with leather ears, blinking eyes and a trunk that
moves and sprays water. Inside you can see the gears and moving
parts. It’s great to be on the top as the elephant moves around
the grounds. |
