Le Manège Carré Sénart – Das Steampunk Karussell

Das ist die Manège Carré Sénart – das wohl außergewöhnlichste Steampunk-Karussel auf diesem Planeten. Mir fehlen ehrlich gesagt die Worte um zu beschreiben wie cool ich dieses Teil finde. Ich bin ja sonst nicht so für Steampunk, aber hier mach ich eine Ausnahme.

François Delarozière has done his utmost to find how to square a circle to imagine the Manège Carré Sénart. With 18-meter-long sides, an over-300-m² area, the highest point around 14 meters and a 40-ton weight, the extraordinary machine can take 49 persons on board on every ride. If this carrousel is complete while moving, it is so monumental that it is already an attraction. Its moving elements – that are all unique and custom-built – evoke an imaginary and singular menagerie of Sénart: 3 giant buffalos, 4 climbing insects, 10 insects on rail, 3 fish heads and some other poetic and dreamy jokes… Adults and children can act directly on the elements by activating some parts. Setting in motion the carrousel both mechanically and manually creates by itself an entertainment for the passers-by.
