Have you heard of “La Halle de la Machine” ? It is definitely one of cultural Toulouse’s must sees. Located on one of France’s oldest airplane runways in the Montaudran district, the Halle is filled with performance machines of all sizes, from the smallest which can be held in the palm of your hand to the biggest weighing up to several tons. The team of designers and mechanics work together to build unusual theatre objects, usually by reusing old and obsolete parts giving them a new and unexpected purpose. Each machine has its history and tells a different story . A visit to La Halle de la Machine is the certainty of being amazed at the wonderful creativity that brings objects to life.
Opening times : Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00am to 6:00pm. During school holidays opening times are extended from Tuesdays to Sundays 10:00am to 6.00pm.
