Biodiversarium

This is a special little aquarium. Its role in the Observatoire Océanologique means that the staff is incredibly knowledgeable and instructive. The relatively small collection, we found, also helped us to FOCUS and learn. Sometime larger collections are just overwhelming, and cause you to sort of... wander forward. Here, you can take in each tank, ecosystem, and species and really get a grasp of the material. As a center focused on the Mediterranean specifically, moreover, it is deeply immersed in the local context at Banyuls-sur-Mer. Worth a visit. French language helpful here, but not necessary of course.

It's a wonderful place to spend a couple of hours watching the wonderful world of the sea. They take great care of the animals and environment in the aquarium and we really enjoyed the layout and selection.

I recently visited Biodiversarium. Despite there not being a wide variety of fish, the ones I saw were small and adorable. I learned that they release the fish into the wild when they grow too big, which shows their commitment to animal welfare. It was a heartwarming experience knowing the fish are cared for even after they outgrow their tanks. Overall, it was a delightful visit with a unique approach to conservation that left a positive impression on me.

It was super nice! The staff was great, there's a good amount of sea life to see and is accessible for wheelchair. I recommend 👌
