Les Machines de l’île de Nantes

Last week, we decided to walk on the island of Nantes and make our way to the old shipyard where they’re using old buildings to build huge machines. Their first and which seems most popular is the elephant. People are able to take a 45 minute ride on it.

They’ve also created a spider and a dragon, some of which travel around the world. Both the spider and the dragon were in Ottawa last summer for Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations. There’s also a carrousel that you can ride, the rides are sea creatures and pretty cool to see.

We walked around for a while enjoying the beautiful day.

On our way back, we stopped by and had a drink by the river.
