Aquarium Périgord noir
Europe's largest freshwater aquarium is in Périgord
Welcome to the Aquarium du Périgord noir
Aquarium Périgord Noir is Europe's largest privately-owned freshwater aquarium; over 4,000m2, you'll discover 70 tanks containing 3 million liters of water, allowing you to see 6,000 animals, including the finest collection of sturgeons in Europe.
The aquarium's open-air basins allow you to see the flora and fauna evolve in all seasons (rain, snow, sun), making it the best way to observe our rivers, ponds and lakes.
The Alligator Park: over 2,000m2 of magnificent Louisiana scenery, hosted by famous hunter-turned-hunter Jo McClack, where you can see alligators, anacondas, iguanas and caimans, and feed baby alligators (ask for details!).
New for 2024: albino alligators
Become a VIP trainee on a private tour with a biologist, feeding alligators, carp or Myocastors.
Exhibition from August 5 "Plaisirs d'écailles" in partnership with photographer Matthieu Berroneau
An evolving area already integrated into the visit, the aim is to raise awareness of the different species and show their fragile side. This exhibition area will evolve with the seasons. It's an open-air cabinet of curiosities.
