The Little Girl at Admiralty Arch.
Before the London visit, Royal de Luxe published the whole story of the Elephant and the Little Girl. The Elephant is really a time machine...
Sometimes the world turns out to be not quite what you'd expect. It is a fine day in London, May 2006. A twelve metre high elephant with a house in its belly and a sultan on its back is slowly wandering down Piccadilly. At Trafalgar Square they meet an eight metre high little girl.
This has got to be architecture...

In 2006, London was visited by a Giant Little Girl, and a Sultan‘s Elephant, This and several other similar visits around the world are the work of Jean-Luc Courcould and his theatre company Royal de Luxe, and the giants are made by François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice from the Nantes-based art workshop La Machine.
The Girl and several other extraterrestrial guests have visited many places around the world.
The Elephant lives in Nantes, where it takes visitors for daily walks.
