The Paris Aquarium is not only the oldest aquarium in Europe (it was built in 1867!), but it was also for a long time the largest in Europe. Located in the center of the city, near the Trocadero, in the quarries where Napoleon housed his cavalry, this institution has been part of the Parisian landscape for over a century.
The Aquarium reflects the late 19th century fascination with the bizarre. With bearded ladies and “dark rooms”, aquavivariums were all the rage. In this place, there is enough to see to keep you and your family entertained for hours.
You can see 7500 marine animals and 700 coral colonies at the Paris Aquarium. Dive into the world of sharks, sea urchins, jellyfish and various fish species. This is a fantastic opportunity to discover many things about what goes on underwater for both children and adults.
Interactive activities and fascinating shows are held throughout the day, as well as educational videos. You can sit in the comfortable theater seats and watch the corresponding documentaries when you feel the need to take a break.
You will have understood, the aquarium of Paris will allow you to spend a unique moment in family!
