Went there yesterday, it was as brilliantly eccentric as it looks.

I've taken lots of movies and pictures, will have them up as soon as possible, and will post links here.

And i;m not sure about the website, but the shop did sell lots of posters, including the one witht the crab in, which i've bought :P

If any of you happen to live near Liverpool, apparently it's going there some time in September.

On the website is a poster image of the crab. Is there any way to buy that poster?

I was lucky enough to see the elephant and child in London when the Sultan came to town - pleased to see a similar creation is in existence!

Definitely a great experience to ride the great elephant and see the whole Isle. I also recommend visiting the Verne museum.

Because that would be super cool.

Ah well, we will have to make our own cool this year.

I collect Elephants so sad I don't have room for this one.

Would love to see it it is amazing to see.

Your timing of this post couldn't be better! We're off to France in a week and we're staying only around 40 minutes from Nantes so we'll definitely be going to see this. My kids took one look at the picture of the elephant and were in awe :)

I was lucky enough to be there last week.
The whole place exudes enthusiasm and madness. I was tempted to drop everything and apply for a job on the spot.
On a point of order, I believe the London elephant was brother to the one at Nantes which is too heavy to leave the island. That's right folks, there are two of those beasts in the world. God is indeed in his heaven.
