New Aquarium for Shark Lovers


Who says that there are no dangerous sharks in the mediterranean? The little romantic community of Grau-du-Roi at the French Cote d'Azur wants to proof different. Their "Seaquarium" is implementing its plans to construct a new unit entirely reserved for the sharks.

The Seaquarium carries the shark on its company logo - but astonishingly you will not find any in its tanks. This will change as soon as construction finishes presumably in the summer season of 2008. Over 13 tons of acrylic windows will be needed to keep the predator in the tanks and visitors safe (and dry).

Located in the Carmargue, which is usually better known for horseback riding, the Seaquarium will most definitely be on top off the list of things to do for tourists visiting the area. Enjoy!
