Aquarium du Perigord Noir, Le Bugue
The biggest fresh water aquarium in Europe is in Le Bugue
A great place for a family day out and to escape the pre-historic world of the Dordogne...instead, enjoy the family atmosphere and displays of this fresh water aquarium.
With aquariums full of carp, trout and various other freshwater fish, you can also take the chance to visit the outdoor pools where you can participate in feeding the fish. The Anaconda House is full of lizards and serpents in a wide range of sizes and colours. You can also see turtles in yet another pool area.
When you have enjoyed all the sights there is a pleasant cafe area selling drinks and snacks and next door is a mini-golf if you are looking for more entertainment.
Open from 10:00-18:00.
Worth knowing
Also new to the Le Bugue Aquarium in 2012 is the alligator park! The park covers over 1000 meters square and includes a mock up of a house of an alligator hunter, an alligator ranch and an alligator bayou with a nursery section so you can see the baby alligator...with their tiny sharp teeth!
