A fun tour for the whole family, featuring the poetic creations of La Machine company
A blue-eyed minotaur, 13 m high, strolling through the streets alongside a giant spider: what a show! These are the poetic creations of La Machine, to whom the people of Nantes owe their mechanical elephant, and it's here in the Montaudran district. A fun visit for the whole family. Ask the Véritables Machinistes to activate the bread catapult, the plant caressing machine or the horn organ. Take a seat on a beetle for an unforgettable ride on the fabulous Carré Sénard merry-go-round. Store and café.

L'activité phare du musée reste le Minotaure qui après avoir parcouru la ville pour les gardiens du temples transporte maintenant le public sur son dos autour du musée ! Ce titan de bois et de métal est parfaitement impressionant !
À visiter absolument.
Un grand merci aux animateurs pour leur disponibilité et leur générosité !
