Built in 1878 for the World Fair this aquarium was the largest of Europe. It has been closed in 1985 for important works of renovation. Located on a hill of Chaillot, facing the Tower Eiffel.

The fish will be in 43 basins, of which the greatest fact 33 metres length. The filling of the basins has needed 4 million liters of water. The access by a tunnel will simulate a walk under the sea.
