Aquarium Musee d'Arcachon Arcachon

The museum part of the Aquarium Musee d'Arcachon covers the geological, zoological, paleontological, historical amd archaeological aspects of marine life. Oyster farming has even been ventured into in the museum. The aquarium side, on the other hand, is responsible for uncovering some of the most extraordinary species of local creatures of the sea in Arcachon, including crustaceans, mollusks, fishes from the sandy beds as well as green turtles. The 36 tanks of the aquarium hold seawater, the volume of which totals to 55,000 litres. Visiting this museum-aquarium, which has been working with the labs of the University of Marine Biology since 1867, is definitely one of the most worthwhile things to do in Arcachon that you can include in the plans for your visit.
