An enormous mad max looking Elephant mobile vehicle, this looks like something out of a futuristic dystopian film with the over use of special effects controlled by some evil villain, the creator did a real nice job bringing this creation to life complete with Tusks and a trunk, the ability to have so many people riding aboard it is pretty cool, although you'd need a grasp of heights to ride on the back but it looks nice up there with a nice sun balcony to relax on, the health and safety people will be in hysteria when they gaze upon this

Once aboard, you will see the moving gears that power the legs. A machinist will tell you stories about the elephant and have it blast its trunk for your pleasure. Being on the back of the Grand Éléphant is like being on the 4th floor of a travelling house, with a breathtaking view of the former shipyards. In February 2018, after few months of maintenance, the Grand Éléphant became more silent than ever, with a new hybrid motor. The world’s first eco-friendly mechanical pachyderm!
Operation to the Grand Eléphant is subject to weather conditions.
When this majestic animal goes out for a walk, it is like architecture in motion leaving a steel cathedral. 50 passengers can embark on an amazing journey.

Located on the banks of the Loire river, across from the Musée Jules Verne, the Carrousel des Mondes Marins seems to have been born in the belly of the Île de Nantes, the city’s most maritime spot. Adults and children are plunged into the same imaginary universe of this incredible mechanical aquarium, which you can discover at your own pace.

This authentic 360° theatre is also an incredible sculpture dedicated to the sea. Visitors watch as strange and disturbing marine creatures revolve in a huge structure built on three levels. You will discover the sea like never before, from seabed and abyss to sea surface. This giant carousel, almost 25 m high and 22 m in diameter, is a reinvention of fairground art. Three carousels are stacked in concrete lacework, crowned by a Big Top that is itself adorned with pediments, and guarded by 16 fishermen from all the world’s oceans. Unsupervised access to the Marine Worlds Carrousel is permitted for individuals age 13 and up. Operation to the Carrousel des Mondes Marins is subject to weather conditions.
