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
