Aquarium du Lac du Bourget, Public aquarium in Aix-les-Bains, France
The Aquarium du Lac du Bourget features 40 freshwater fish species native to Lake Bourget within an Art Deco building near the waterfront.
Architect Roger Pétriaux designed this structure in 1933 as a hydrological research station for engineers specializing in limnology and fish farming.
The building received recognition as 'Heritage of the 20th Century' in March 2003, highlighting its architectural significance in the region.
In 2017, the facility transformed into AQUALIS interpretation center and restaurant, offering guided tours and educational programs about Lake Bourget's ecosystem.
The western facade displays an aquatic-themed mosaic from the 1930s, while the building maintains its original concrete structure with horizontal rectangular windows.
