The Machines of the Isle of Nantes is an artistic, touristic and cultural project based in Nantes, France. It aims to promote the city's image and tries to build an identity as a creative metropolis of dream and fantasy. In the warehouses of the former shipyards in Nantes, the Machines of the Isle is created by two artists, François Delarozière (La Machine) and Pierre Orefice (Manaus association), visualising a travel-through-time world at the crossroads of the "imaginary worlds" of Jules Verne and the mechanical universe of Leonardo da Vinci.
