The Dragon of Calais is a monumental mechanical creature created in 2019 by the French company La Machine. Standing 12 meters high and 25 meters long, this articulated dragon can carry around fifty passengers on its back. Stationed on the Calais seafront, it serves as a work of art, a tourist attraction, and a symbol of urban renewal. Inspired by local legends, the dragon comes to life through impressive engineering—it walks, breathes fire, and interacts with the public. This giant creature represents a fusion of imagination, technology, and living culture.
