More than 150 species are kept in tanks, including sharks, rays and barracudas, while there is also a chance to watch the centre’s seals feed. For more information, please see www.aquariumbiarritz.com or TripAdvisor.
But it doesn’t stop there! France loves brands and grandiose themes and, under the umbrella concept of ‘Biarritz Océan’, the town now also has what’s called ‘City of the Ocean’ (‘Cite de la Océan), which is a sister site to the aquarium and just a short trip away. This exhibition is all about the ocean, its complex ecosystem and about what can be done to help protect it, and is full of interactive activities for youngsters and adults. There’s a free shuttle bus between the museum and the ocean centre. Website: www.citedelocean.com
