Presentation of: LES ANIMAUX DE LA PLACE

Come and discover the mechanical bestiary imagined by François Delarozière from the company La Machine: crocodile, sacred ibis, hippopotamus, Nile perch, dromedary... And become an actor as you operate these mechanical sculptures using levers and joysticks blended into the vegetation surrounding the pools.

These unique mechanical animals are free to visit and are open all year round.

The crocodile, otter and pink flamingos are not currently on show in Place Napoléon, as they are having minor health problems that will be sorted out by the company La Machine. They will be back in 2024.
