The Palais de la Porte Dorée invites you and your family to its big party on Saturday June 8 and Sunday June 9, 2024. This 8th edition features numerous workshops, immersive animations, creative activities and conferences for the whole family.

The Fête de l'Aquariumis back again this year, for a seventh edition, to be experienced on the weekend of June 8-9, 2024, at the aquarium of the Palais de la Porte Dorée. This discovery-filled weekend offers you the chance to meet major players in the preservation of the world's oceans and rivers, including associations, NGOs and research centers.

This year's theme,"Rivers of the World", is an invitation to discover the world of rivers: populated by exceptional flora and fauna, these freshwater environments are particularly threatened and weakened by human activity. From France to India, via French Guiana and other continents, discover the most beautiful rivers on our planet!
