As I posted before, I was very impressed with the city of Nantes. Of all the cool things in the city, my favorite was Les Machines de l’île. The biggest attraction is The Grand Éléphant.
It is a free attraction to look at, and wanders around the industrial park. It costs to ride the elephant, and for the carousels, and the indoor park with many other mechanical animals.
The conference I was attending hosted their Gala dinner here and it was very nice. First, they opened up the inside part up for us to explore, then The Grand Éléphant made a dramatic entrance. Then we were seated, where a 20 piece jazz band played for us while we ate with the elephant in the background. Luckily, I was able to get a ticket for Emily to join us for the dinner. Over the top nice…
They have big plans for expansion and we have talked about definitely trying to get back…
Tres bizarre!!!
So awesome!
Sign us up, we’re ready to go!
