Most visitors coming to Paris don't think of visiting the
Aquarium Tropicale Porte Doree
I went last night for the opening of
Art, Mode, Design on till June 12
The Art Deco building alone is worth a visit - 293 Avenue Daumesnil 75012 Metro Porte Doree
Fishy dancing

On to the real fish
Such a romantic place,
the aquarium for strolling
Dots too.
Red piraña fish from Brazil..amazingly still, waiting for dinner?
I took a mini video. It didn't upload.
Just 8 seconds of serenity now.
Aquarium Tropicale Porte Doree is a good place to calm down
My favorite bath song, Splish Splash!

Looks like fun! I will check it out in April. It's very convenient for me since l'Hotel de la Porte Dorée, where I always stay, is at 273, ave Daumesnil! Thanks for the heads-up!
ReplyDeletePerfect! And you are a hop and skip away from patisserie Vandermeersh at 278 Daumesnil!

Love that little wc at the top.
WAY COOL - love the front of the building, too.
ReplyDeleteThose fishy photos are quite fabulous! Sounds like a fun event -- you must have loved every second!
ReplyDeleteIf I were a fishy dancer I'd be afraid of getting tangled up in all that fluff :-)
ReplyDeleteAlways so practical ;))
DeleteGreat watercolor and exquisite Underwater photos, Carol.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that funny you went to the other one? My girls wanted an aquarium and we did Trocadero last week which was excellent - this one looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteTrocadero is next

ReplyDeleteWell, who'd a-thunk it? An aquarium in Paris. And yes, the building does look awesome -- I love Art Deco so I would make the trip just to get a gander at it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous building! Lovely to combine art and sea life. Your water color is perfect!
