Throughout the region, you can visit aquariums where you can experience some amazing underwater worlds. Watch in wonder these galleries of 'moving art', where you can almost touch the sealife.

The aquarium 'Le Septième Continent' at Talmont-St-Hilaire in the Vendée is unique in Europe with open top tanks housing more than 3,000 sea creatures. Sunlight spotlights the underwater show reflecting the colours of the fish and rare species exhibiting the same behaviour they have in their natural environment.

Sealand in Noirmoutier takes you beyond the ocean depths. Marvel at the underwater spectacle and then be entertained by the seals. Natural show-offs and athletes, they can't wait to display their acrobatics in return for fish and cuddles from their trainer.

If you're looking for Nemo look no further than Pays de la Loire!
