THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA

Immerse yourself in the wonders of the Mediterranean Sea with a visit full of surprises and discoveries. Did you know that some fish change sex? That the octopus is a master of camouflage? That brown groupers, sea cicadas and large mother-of-pearl are protected? Or that our oldest resident is over 60 years old? A fascinating exploration awaits you as you explore the aquariums.

TROPICAL SEAS

The coral reef, a veritable explosion of color and life, is home to an incredible diversity of species that live together, helping and protecting each other. The aquarium's tropical zone immerses you in this vibrant spectacle, where shapes and colors invite you to travel. The Oceanographic Institute is putting corals in the spotlight with a dedicated program, placing 2020 under the sign of the reef.

The Sea Turtle Odyssey, accessible from the aquarium, invites you to follow the fascinating journey of these great travelers. By discovering their incredible odyssey, you'll become aware of their vulnerability and be encouraged to contribute to their preservation. An open-air space, between discovery and commitment.
