Explore the Wonders of the Ocean

Dive into an extraordinary adventure at the heart of the oceans, at the Bassins des Lumières in Bordeaux!

Carried by the sounds of the underwater world, encounter majestic marine mammals in all their grandeur. Be amazed by a clownfish in its anemone, gaze at dancing jellyfish and shimmering schools of fish, then come face to face with a great white shark and a blue whale. From the mysterious depths of the ocean to the icy surface of the polar ice, via spectacular multicoloured coral reefs, embark on an extraordinary journey among nearly a hundred marine species, each more fascinating than the last.

A truly sensory and poetic odyssey, celebrating the beauty of a world that is both mysterious and fragile...
