The Minotaur takes you on its back for daily excursions through the Montaudran district.
In November 2018, its first appearance in Toulouse during the show “The Guardian of the Temple” brought together more than 800,000 spectators. At the end of the show, with its wings and temple restored, the Minotaur settled in La Halle de La Machine in the heart of the Montaudran district, accompanied by Ariane, the giant spider.
This singular and monumental creature gallops, rears up, falls asleep, and can manipulate objects. Its presence brings the Piste des Géants to life and offers a different perspective on this new district. Made mainly of wood and steel, with markings on its skin gilded with gold leaf, this giant machine weighs 47 tons and reaches a height of 14 meters.
