Fish or Films? Something New in Paris to Delight

Did you know that there has been an aquarium beneath the Palais de Chaillot for years? Closed for twenty long years, it has recently opened its doors again to visitors... But don’t imagine that you’ll see the old aquarium renovated. This is a whole new venue named CinéAqua. Its originality lies in the association of aquarium and audiovisual in an innovative complex of 40 seawater tanks of different sizes, three cinemas and dozens of screens showing animated films, cartoons and documentaries. The music and cartoons are “home-made” in the “CinéAqua studios”. Activities such as the celebrated fish feeding and discovery workshops all add spice to the tour of the aquarium. Its philosophy is to respect the environment and its fragility by favouring as far as possible breeding in captivity and propagation within the aquarium. A paradise for tropical fish enthusiasts!
