If you are the lucky ones who have friends/family/holidays in Brittany. You have to go to Nantes.
First of all, the city saw the birth of one of our beloved genius, Jules Vernes. But I will not talk literature now, but mechanics.
When you go downtown, near the river Loire, there is a very particular island in which dwell many stange creatures, half steel, half wood. The Machines de L’île is an artistic project situated in the former warehouses of the Nantes shipyard.
Part Vernes, part Vinci and definitely part Dr Moreau, you cannot miss the gallery of the Machines, the Heron Tree and the Great Elephant (dare you ride it?).
It is worth the travel for any steampunk lover!

Dude. The vending machine blows.
The vending machine at Natuba Central stole my money! So I put more money in to get this back and (what I thought would be) another bag. No! Stuck again.

Scammers Scammed
These girls were pumping dollar after dollar into this machine when finally they got something. You'll notice though that the bear isn't in the claw, but rather the tag got caught on the claw's arm. Several people have been tugging on the machine for the past few minutes trying to get it to drop the bear. Meanwhile, the other girls are upset that the machine is out of order, they have quarters to spend...
