Nestled in Paris’s heart, the historic Paris Aquarium, also known as Cinéaqua, stands as a vibrant embodiment of aquatic life fascination since its establishment in 1867. Once Europe’s largest aquarium, it accommodates over 13,000 aquatic creatures within its 4 million liters of water, originating from various corners of the globe to local waters. The experience is amplified by the presence of five shark species, eliciting both awe and excitement among visitors.
The aquarium offers more than just a visual spectacle. Its mermaid shows, aquatic cinema, and touchtank engage and educate visitors, while live feeding demonstrations provide unique insights into aquatic life. The interior, reminiscent of Jules Verne’s «Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,» adds a layer of historical charm to the whole experience.
Located just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Eiffel Tower, the aquarium is a portal into a mesmerizing underwater world. Upon your exit, the city’s most beautiful parts, including the Eiffel Tower and Champs-Élysées, await your exploration, making your visit a truly immersive Parisian experience.
