Maison du Saumon et de la Rivière

The Maison du Saumon et de la Rivière displays 800 fish from 35 different species in multiple tanks focused on the Allier River ecosystem.

The facility preserves the heritage of traditional salmon fishing methods and river navigation practices that defined the Haute-Loire region through generations.

The educational center introduces visitors to the relationship between local communities and river activities through exhibits about fishing and water management.

The aquarium maintains seasonal schedules, operating from April to October with extended hours during summer months and afternoon-only visits on weekends.

Visitors can examine fish scales in a laboratory setting to determine the age of different species found in the Allier River.
