Planning Your Visit to the Aquarium de Paris
The Aquarium de Paris is set into the Chaillot hillside at the foot of the Trocadero gardens, in the 16th arrondissement just across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. Because much of the building is underground, the light stays low and the mood stays calm even on busy days. A full loop through the tanks, from the tropical reef displays and coral to the big shark basin and the Medusarium jellyfish galleries, usually runs about an hour and a half to two hours, a little longer if you stop for a feeding session or a film in the on-site cinema.
Getting there is simple. Take Metro Line 9 to Iena or Line 6 to Trocadero, then walk a few minutes down through the gardens to the entrance at 5 Avenue Albert de Mun. The RER C stop at Pont de l'Alma is also close by. Hours shift with the season and on weekends and French school holidays, so it is worth checking the official site before you go. The galleries are indoors and largely step-free, with elevators and ramps between levels, so weather is not a factor. Dress is casual, and since you will be on your feet a while, comfortable shoes help. Flash photography is not allowed, as it disturbs the animals.
