The Nocturnes 2026: later opening hours

On 2026, the Machines de l’île will be welcoming visitors
for an exceptional tour.

It’s an opportunity to discover or rediscover the Galerie des Machines, the Carrousel des Mondes Marins and the Grand Éléphant, in a special atmosphere, when time seems suspended.

In the Galerie, the visit is punctuated by contributions from the machinists, who explain the history and workings of the mechanical bestiary. From sketch to operation, the entire creative process is presented in this gallery-laboratory.

At the Carrousel des Mondes Marins, immerse yourself in the world of the sea and extend the pleasure with a free 2nd tour with the purchase of a ticket including the 1st tour.
