The Seaquarium of Grau du Roi, in the Petite Camargue

 

In the Gard department, in Languedoc-Roussillon, the Seaquarium of Grau-du-Roi is much more than a 2400m² aquarium.

Visit the Seaquarium of Grau du Roi during your camping holidays

At the Seaquarium in Le Grau du Roi, Mediterranean and tropical fish live in colourful pools of coral and aquatic plants.

We are especially impressed by the footbridge and the tunnel which allow us to get very close to the sharks: they swim above our heads, we have the impression of being in the aquarium! A "sharkarium", not to be missed. For children, a special course has been designed, which of course includes the giant sea lion and seal tank, whose games and moustachioed faces are a pleasure to watch. Finally, you can learn all about sea turtles in the museum area. Created in 1989, the Seaquarium was an immediate success as the first aquarium in the region. Marine mammals arrived in 2001 and the sharkarium opened in 2009, the first in Europe! Today there are 200 species of fish and 25 species of sharks, seals and sea lions. Finally, the Grau du Roi Seaquarium is also an institute for the promotion and development of actions to preserve and protect marine biodiversity.
