Nantes-Elephant



As I said, I had seen this in the guidebook. I had not been enthusiastic about going to see the elephant, so it was a good thing that Annie took us. It was one of the highlights of the day. We were at least as charmed as the children.



Expect puddles with elephants. Big puddles.





They can go rogue too! Best to be prepared.



Children and grownups waiting for a ride.

For us the charm lies not just in the imagination but in the mechanics of the elephant.











All aboard and the elephant driver gets in his cab.












Elephant makes a terrible roar.













And off they go around the park.
