They call themselves "MACHINES OF THE ISLE OF NANTES" which comes quite natural as this artistic company is based in Nantes, France. They intenteded to bring back to live the industrial background of the city.
Now what you see is a kind of freaky Steampunk zoo with animals bigger than nature made out of wood and steel...and they are moving! For example you have an elephant that is 12 meters high and about 8 meters wide on which you can take a tour...only you have to be careful not to get wet when he sneezes.
Here's a link to their homepage if you want total a closer look : https://www.lesmachines-nantes.fr/en/
Of course I took some pictures on my last visit that I want to share with you...it's really worth the trip:
And among others you have Long Ma the Dragon

Do I take it that those are mobile while people are in them? Super cool!
I think Long Ma actually translates to 'numbing-spicy dragon'.

What beautiful animals despite being made of metal and wood are a reflection of everything that man can do, and to make the walk on them must be something great, beautiful pictures.
