Les Machines de l’île

Nantes’ industrial past whirs to life in a collection of mechanical creations on the banks of the Loire. Set on the site of the city’s former shipyards, this steampunk wonderland has to be seen to be believed. Where else can you ride a giant steel elephant or a three-tiered carousel filled with fantastical sea creatures?

    This attraction was our entire purpose for coming to Nantes,...

    This attraction was our entire purpose for coming to Nantes, at the request of our teen son. We were disappointed to not get to ride the elephant. It would have been wise to make purchase our entrance and book a ride 48 hours in advance, since the website does not allow reservations in less time than that. It was delightful, but very busy in August. We had to wait in line to purchase entrance to the machines for over an hour shortly after they opened. There was no to-go coffee anywhere nearby to make the wait more relaxed. Definitely use the App and scan for information in English, all the guides' information is in French.

    A stunning place to visit for children and adults alike.

    A stunning place to visit for children and adults alike. Intriguing moving sculptures with working mechanisms that can be seen, studied and marvelled at. What’s best is that the pieces are interactive and have the wow factor. Try not to do too much research before you do that the surprises are there to experience first hand.

    The mechanical elephant was awesome.

    The mechanical elephant was awesome. We waited in a queue for quite some time but it was worth it. It was raining cats and dogs on the day we went and was bitterly cold. The elephant still went out. Watching the elephant move around was just as good as the ride.

    Allow at least four hours is you like machines.

    Allow at least four hours is you like machines. They'll show you everything they have if you are their along enough. The merry-go-round and the elephant rides are worth traveling half way across the country to see.

    The very long lines (1-hour+ wait) to get into this...

    The very long lines (1-hour+ wait) to get into this attraction are just not worth it. The most interesting "machine" was the giant elephant that goes out for walks around the neighborhood. You can see that for free right up close. The challenge is to get to the Machines area at a time when the elephant is there. If you decide that you do absolutely want to get inside, get there a 1.5-2 hours before closing for the shortest queus.
