If you fancy a ride on a giant mechanical elephant during your stay at La Grande Maison then head to
Les Machines de L'Ile in Nantes. Le Grand Elephant standing 12 metres high and weighing 50 tons takes you on a 40 minute ride along the quayside of the Loire River. It trumpets, sprays water from it's trunk and is an amazing technological feat of engineering.
In fact the whole gallery is worth a visit. Sue couldn't resist volunteering to ride the giant retro propulsion calamar but then she is a big kid at heart!

That elephant looks so familiar. When we used to live in London, we saw the elephant too as well as the giant girl!
