About Grand Aquarium de Touraine
Set among the châteaux of the Loire at Lussault-sur-Loire, between Amboise and Tours, the Grand Aquarium de Touraine is one of the largest freshwater aquariums in Europe, devoted above all to the fish of the great river running past its doors. Its many tanks reveal the surprising underwater life of the Loire and other rivers — giant catfish, sturgeon, pike and shoals of silvery fish — alongside tropical species, reptiles and, as a thrilling finale, a great tank of sharks crossed by an underwater tunnel. Interactive displays and touch pools make it a favourite family outing amid the Loire valley's cultural riches. Educational, well-presented and a refreshing change from the region's castles, the Grand Aquarium de Touraine is a fascinating window onto the hidden world beneath the rivers of France.
