What to expect

A sumptuous showcase of the world's marine biodiversity, the tropical aquarium in Paris today is home to nearly 15,000 fish, divided into 750 distinct species. In an educational concern, the course is specially thought to bring the answers to the questions that the children could ask themselves.
