Under the Nave of the Parc des Chantiers, a team of crazy builders has set up their workshop. Their imagination explores the treetops, the savannah or the sea bed, they build a bestiary of living machines that escape from the workshop… On the very places where the great ships were built, these monumental mechanical structures are, for all, an invitation to dream and to travel.
