You probably didn't wake up this morning thinking how awesome it would be to ride around in a giant mechanical elephant. But we bet you are now. Les Machines de L'ile (€8; roughly $10) is an attraction dedicated to huge robotic animals, imagined by François Delarozière and Pierre Oreficee. Located across from the Jules Verne Museum in Nantes, France, this unique attraction lets you take a ride in the 40-foot tall elephant, control the arms of a tree, fly overtop of the tree on the wings of a mechanical heron, or ride in one of 14 creatures aboard the marine-themed carousel.
