Illuminated Ocean

This year, along the pathways of the Garden and the Ménagerie, the zoo of the Jardin des Plantes, your steps will lead you to discover the wonders of the Oceans.

Departing from Place Valhubert, you will discover the inhabitants of the coastline, the splendour of the warm seas; you will then immerse yourselves in the discovery of weird and wonderful creatures in the mysterious universe of the abyss, before finally heading towards the icy seas of the poles...

From the clownfish to the magnificent predator of the Arctic oceans - the killer whale, from the mantis shrimp to the sea turtle, the common fangtooth to the great white shark, prepare to be amazed by the dozens of creatures in this poetic and artistic installation.

An extraordinary journey that will astonish you just as much as it will draw your attention to the fragility of our oceans.

Do not miss the opportunity to meet the inhabitants of the oceans on this magical journey.
