We’ve always known that the Machines were going to come for us, but we never listen. We are the mighty, the owners of the planet – nay, the universe. And, yet we let them get away with it, anyway. They come in packs, in armies, huge and invincible. Who do we think we are? Who do we think they are? We know who they are. They are Machines of the Isle (Les Machines de L’ile) and they’re waiting for you.
Whether you’re climbing aboard a life-size mechanical elephant, riding on a carousel of fantastical sea creatures, or operating a flying machine, a visit to Les Machines de L’île is probably unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Inspired by the creations of novelist Jules Verne, Nantes’ flagship attraction is fun for all ages. Incredible in their inception, their design and their execution. Fantastique! Everyone will fall in love with them, but good look stuffing one in the back of a Citroën. What’s better is that they’re free to see and explore. Click here.
