Nantes

On a recent trip to France my girlfriend and I visited Les Machine de l'Ile Nantes which featured a 40 ton mechanical elephant that walked around part of a ship building yard. Amazing exibition well worth a visit, millions of pounds have been spent to create this attraction.


Nante is birth place of Jules Verne so many of these giant kinetic sculptures are inspired by 20,000 Leagues under the Sea.
I spotted these fire hydrant things  all over France they look to me like beetle type bugs, very cool I want one.
