An elephant made of wood, leather and metal, 12 m high, circulates through the naval quarters, spraying passers-by.

The famous pachyderm lives on the Ile de Nantes, under the naves of the Galerie des Machines. This elephant made of wood, leather and metal is 12 m high and weighs 48 tons. It moves around the shipyard district, spraying passers-by with water. You climb on its back from its steel cathedral to the Carroussel des Mondes Marins where it drops you off for a ride. An unusual walk of about 30 minutes to discover the old site of the shipyards and the quays of the Loire.

Vraiment un super moment passé en famille. L'éléphant est impressionnant de l'extérieur et pour la ballade, vous pouvez vous balader à l'intérieur de la bête pour avoir plusieurs points de vue. Une belle sortie à faire si vous êtes sur Nantes mais ne vous approchez pas trop prêt si vous ne voulez pas prendre de douche !!! ????

Un mastodonte de bois et de mécaniques très Impressionnant!
Une fois embarqué à bord, on peut admirer, en partie, le fonctionnement de la bête, durant les 30 minutes de balade.
