New beginnings
With the help of their son Stéphane and his wife Nadine, the family and the whole team throw themselves into the construction of a new site located 400 metres from the sea. The new aquarium is going to be called 'Océarium'.
First Aquarium
The first aquarium in Le Croisic harbour is opened: The Côte d'Amour Aquarium.
At the beginning
Janine and Jean Auffret, wholesale sea-fish merchants at the fish market in the fishing harbour of Le Croisic, install a small aquarium in their shop to give their customers something to look at while waiting. The shop is gradually turned into a museum with stuffed animals, shellfish and crustaceans from all over the world.
