📍 From Les Machines de l'Île, France
Le Grand Éléphant, a mechanical marvel situated in Nantes, France, is part of Les Machines de l'île, a unique artistic and cultural project inspired by Jules Verne's fictional worlds and Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical universe. Standing 12 meters tall, this enormous mechanical elephant can carry up to 50 passengers and moves along the Île de Nantes, offering a breathtaking view of the Loire River along its route. Photo-travelers will appreciate the intricate metalwork, lifelike movements, and the playful water sprays emitted from its trunk. Visit in the late afternoon for optimal lighting, and don't miss the neighboring Carrousel des Mondes Marins for additional whimsical photo opportunities.
