Aquarium de Biarritz, Public aquarium in Biarritz, France.
The Aquarium de Biarritz is a coastal building showcasing tanks with marine animals from the Bay of Biscay. It displays jellyfish, octopuses, seahorses, and many other species arranged in tanks of varying sizes throughout the space.
The facility was founded at the end of the 19th century and has expanded several times since then. A major renovation in recent years significantly enlarged the exhibition space for visitors.
The facility regularly hosts art exhibitions that explore the relationship between people and the ocean, reflecting how the local region has long centered its identity around the sea. These rotating displays show how visitors from all backgrounds engage with maritime themes and coastal life.
The spaces are easy to navigate, and the tanks are arranged on different levels so all visitors can view the animals comfortably. There is plenty of room to move peacefully from one tank to another.
One section features footage of humpback whales accompanied by recordings of their songs, offering a rare experience for visitors. This combination of video and audio gives a unique sense of how these large marine mammals communicate.
