Valdemar, Thomas Dambo’s giant troll

Elfy Park is home to Valdemar the Walker, the first giant troll installed in France by the Danish artist Thomas Dambo. Built from recycled wood, it is one of more than 100 trolls around the world. Its message is simple: take care of nature and reuse what we throw away. Children love it, and so do their parents.
