Le Grand Elephant at Les Machines de l’Ile, Nantes has to be the daftest and most wonderful creation ever.
12 meters high, 8 meters wide and able to carry up to 49 passengers, it weighs 45 tons. And it can squirt water at you from its trunk.
I’m afraid I only got a snippet of video but it will give you an idea of how it trundles along.
Never mind your cathedrals and castles – go and see the elephant.
A truly amazing monster!
