Asterion the Minotaur, a giant of fifty tons made of steel and wood, attracts the attention of the public at the Halle de La Machine in Toulouse.

“It’s our Toto,” said an operator as she descended from the gondola, hanging from the bottom of the big torso. Like a dancer, she gracefully manipulates the exoskeleton through which the powerful arms and enormous hooves of the Minotaur move.
