Le Croisic Océarium is one of France's most popular aquariums. With an area of natural seawater of 2,500m³, it is home to 600 species, in 56 separate aquariums. The aim is to protect these aquatic animals and care for them, as well as to raise people's awareness about animal behaviour and man's relationship with sea life.
This venture has enjoyed success since it opened in 1968. At that time, designers had erected a little aquarium in their shop, so that customers had something fun to look at while they waited. 4 years later, the first Aquarium arrived. Le Croisic Océarium then followed in 1992.
The Océarium invites you to see the 11 areas, known here as “escales” (stop offs):
There is also a variety of entertainment available every day, including penguin feeding time (11am, 3pm and 5pm) and octopus feeding time at 11.30am. There is also a presentation featuring the sharks of Australia which takes place every day at 3.30pm. The purpose of this show is to explain peoples' misconceptions about these incredible animals, which are wrongly deemed to be dangerous. This is an occasion that can really be enjoyed be people of all ages.
And if you're feeling a bit peckish and you've come to Le Croisic with the family and for the day, there's a picnic area available too.
