THE AQUARIUM OF THE ROCK OF CURIOSITIES
An aquarium with over 2,000 specimens and objects, and a butterfly garden with a wide range of species in Granville.
Unique, the Roc des Curiosités now exhibits over 2,000 specimens and objects. With four different worlds to explore, you'll be guided through 20 stages of discovery by a guided tour and a welcome booklet. This "parcours de curiosités" is designed to showcase the collections to their best advantage. A butterfly garden features a wide range of species from every continent. Its walls are the setting for paintings by Guillaume Masson, and are well worth a look. Next, you'll pass through the mineral palace, a veritable masterpiece where various representations are presented in this form. The shell fairyland, next, will fill your eyes with sculptures and creations using 3 tons of coral! Last but not least, the aquarium remains the centerpiece of the facility, with its multicolored fish and shellfish from our coasts, whose meals, three times a day, are a spectacle in themselves. Last but not least, the place also offers a variety of one-off events, exhibitions and workshops for young and old alike. A tea room and small restaurant on the terrace, overlooking Granville Bay, make for a pleasant end to the visit. Bottom line: kids love it here, and everyone will appreciate the setting, the originality and the plurality of what's on offer. The boutique is very nice, and rounds off an equally nice visit.

Nous avons visité le roc des curiosités . Nous avons beaucoup aimé la diversité, entre les papillons, la féerie des coquillages, et l'aquarium, ce fut très étonnant et enrichissant.
Très belle visite, j'y retournerai.
