The Tour de France is stopping by Toulouse on July 16, and let’s just say that the Pink City is not planning to go unnoticed. Along with the pedals and the honks of the caravan, another kind of giants will tread the streets of Toulouse: those from the Halle de la Machine, as explained by Actu Toulouse. A grand yet fleeting event, promising to make the Piste des Géants resonate like never before.

At exactly 12:45 PM – that’s fifteen minutes before the official departure of the stage – Astérion the Minotaur, Long Ma the majestic Horse-Dragon, and the imposing Giant Spiders will awaken for a special outing, all wrapped in falling snowflakes in the middle of July. Yes, you read that right. Toulouse promises a frosty atmosphere under the blazing sun, blending mechanical poetry with an extraordinary show.

A giant live show on television

And since moments like these don’t come around every day, it will be captured live by television cameras for an audience all across France. But for the lucky folks who are there in person, a handful of tickets are available to experience this grand performance.

So if you dream of seeing these colossal wooden and steel giants in person, now's the time: head to the Halle de la Machine website to snag your precious ticket. Be careful, there won’t be enough for everyone... and we guarantee it’s going to be a magical experience like no other.
