Not the biggest aquarium I’ve been to. But there are lots of fish species and great descriptions of each. The 🦈 shark tank was wonderful. We were hoping to see an octopus 🐙 but didn’t find any. There is also an awesome miniature marine vessel / boat exhibit at the very end.
Really nice little aquarium. Not too large, ideal for a 1-3 hour visit. Not too expensive car park directly outside. Good selection of sea creatures and interesting interactive exhibits. Quiet during our weekday visit. Price for entry very reasonable. Recommended!
On a weekday afternoon, with grey skies above and rain on the way, we visited Aquarium Oniria. As expected, it was quite crowded. Thankfully, we had bought our tickets online in advance, which saved us a long wait at the entrance. Calling Oniria simply an "aquarium" doesn’t quite cover it. The experience begins not with fish tanks, but with a symbolic climb to a mountain peak, following the path of water as it flows from the heights down through rivers and wetlands, eventually reaching the sea. This storyline gives the visit a strong sense of direction and discovery. Unlike traditional aquariums that focus mainly on the ocean, Oniria offers a wider perspective, showcasing various freshwater and marine environments along the way. There are also a few interactive elements scattered throughout, mainly aimed at children, which add some variety to the visit without being overwhelming. Due to the weather, it was unfortunately very busy, which made it harder to fully enjoy the experience. In total, we spent around an hour and a half inside. For our family of two adults and two children, the total cost was €48, which felt reasonable given the uniqueness of the setup. However, to really appreciate the atmosphere and design, I would recommend visiting during quieter times.
This is a lovely aquarium, with the information about what is in each tank in 3 languages, French, English and Spanish. Each area has been really thought out and is a really great experience. It was all decorated for Halloween on our visit which made it even more fun for the children. We were able to join in with arts and crafts at the end, where the children were able to make a monster, spell or decoration then able to decorate it and colour pictures. Toilets located in areas throughout. Wheelchair and buggy friendly. Staff are able to speak other languages too! A cinema experience is included too and a tickle tank (this is really cool!). Feeding times for different creatures at different times on different days. This really is an aquarium worth visiting. Right by the beach!
I’m giving 3 stars solely based on my visit. We originally planned to come on Saturday, but due to a power outage they were close so we had to return on Sunday. Unfortunately, with the 40°C heat and large crowds, the experience was quite uncomfortable. Inside the aquarium, some maintenance areas were visible, which took away a bit from the atmosphere. For the price, the space felt smaller than expected. I imagine visiting during the off-season would be much more enjoyable, but in the peak of August it was difficult to fully appreciate.
Visited on a weekday and was quieter than expected. However, this was great for us as we got to see all the exhibits and could take our time enjoying it. Well worth the visit, will be returning.
Great aquarium which takes you on a journey from the top of the mountain, Canigou, to the bottom. Showing which fish live in different areas. There are interesting things like a place to stand where you get slightly wet and another where it feels like a volcano. The fish are great and the layout of the aquarium is excellent. Parking available nearby.
Wonderful aquarium, even some rare species like a horseshoe crab! Great for kids. Lots of parking right outside. Unexpectedly nice. Great staff as well.

What an amazing experience, the highlight of our trip to Perpignan. Thank you Marie-Pierre! What a wonderful host. The vineyard is beautiful and we learned a lot about how they make the wine, the taste difference between the wines and also how they have grown their business through high quality, organic wine. Highly highly recommend! Please visit early in the holiday so that you can buy some wine to take back and enjoy for the rest of the holiday.
Serge Baux gave us an incredible tour of his terroir and cave, explaining everything clearly and with great passion. My husband and I were blown away. The delightful picnic lunch was made with delicious, fresh local products. We wish we could buy this wine in the USA but we were lucky to have enjoyed it while in France. We would love to return some day! ❤️🇫🇷
We had an absolutely fantastic time at the vineyard. Mr Baux was really welcoming to me, my wife and 2 year old. We emailed in advance to book a vineyard tour and tasting. He switched between French and English as there were two groups. You can tell he enjoys winemaking and the products sampled were fantastic.
Serge Baux gave us the best wine tour we have ever received. Not only was he incredibly flexible with timing, but he took the time to explain us everything: from the pruning of the grape tree and the organic techniques used for protecting from pests, to the production and aging of his wines. On top of that we got to taste a bunch of his wines and of course ended up taking a load home because no way you could leave without some more! Thank you Serge!
Serge is a very welcoming host and explains how they grow and process their wines. It was the right decision to take the tour and tasting with the picnic. We'd love to come again in the future!
Extraordinary! The people were as welcoming as possible offering a tour of the vineyards as well as the bottling facilities. Following that we sat for a phenomenal picnic where the food was as delicious as the wine was good. I would recommend anyone who enjoys good fellowship with good wine and food to attend this winery!
This was so interesting. Serge did an excellent job telling us about the production of biological vine. We saw the vine yards, the production place and tasted the fantastic vines, and was so happy about this visit. Just go there, they are really friendly and passionate about this.
Great wine, family owned who really know wine. Lovely ambiance and prices are correct for the quality of wine they produce.

Nice place, good bar and coffee shop, very kind people. Sometimes they offer some snack, drink or an ice cream to the players inside the casino. Clean and hygienic.
This is not a casino. This is like a stable. Slot machines are too old. I was playing roulett and lost 3000 euro. I wanted water to take my medicine and they said bar is closed I asked taxi. They said they don't call the taxi. It is a nightmare place.. Never go there. That place must be closed
Very expensive, staff are rdue and the store always feels dirty
All gambling machines. No real dealers.

Very nice stroll. Better in the morning.
Great place to visit when the weather is not too hot. Wonderful display of cacti and some interesting sculptures. Bonus is that it's free.
Small but very pleasant place. Worth a visit.
It's nice to visit for a little walk!! And it's free. It's close to Canet plage !!
IMPORTANT NO DOGS ALLOWED 😭☹ So we left without looking.
Very good explanations by the in- house guide done in an easy to understand way. Entry Price low too. So the visit of only some parts of the zone went off really well as it was for half of the garden and it did not take too long either as we finished in 1 1/2 hours so just enough to keep up the interest.!
A hidden gem of Canet! A little Garden of Eden tucked beyond the town, full of interesting plants, amazing cacti, AND wonderful fruit, that are free to pick (on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings) in the valley of the River Tèt. Obviously a combo of town management and volunteers, the extent and detail of the fauna presented is a minor miracle of persistent care (and irrigation). Despite its apparently unpromising location (the regular No.3 bus stops at a roundabout on the main road to Perpignan, next to the Town Cemetery), this is a delightful, quiet oasis away from the beach... .
Looked great until after parking and walking to the entrance found no dogs allowed apart from guide dogs

Very nice old family winery! We had a wine degustation, visited an old stylish cellar and grape field❤️ The manager was very kind, speaking great english, answered all our questions and told us about events of the place ❤️ VERY RECOMMENDED
Amazing place. What I imagined of a country side French winery. Want to thank Remy for being very friendly not to mention the tour and wine tasting. If I could've I wouldve brought a case of wine home to the US. I plan on going back hopefully soon. The wines were all great that we tasted.
(Translated by Google) It’s an address that we love! We come back every year and it is always with great pleasure. Today we were served by Guillaume, very friendly, welcoming and smiling. The wine is really very good and the place is very pleasant. We can't wait to go back. (Original) C’est une adresse que nous adorons! Nous y revenons tous les ans et c’est toujours avec un immense plaisir. Aujourd’hui nous avons été servi par Guillaume, très sympathique, accueillant et souriant. Le vin est vraiment très bon et le lieu est très agréable. Nous avons hâte d’y retourner.
(Translated by Google) Great experience! A lovely tasting (about 8 wines), with a good explanation from the lady. After asking, we also received a suggestion for another winery in the area (Mas Baux), which turned out to be excellent too! (Original) Geweldige ervaring! Leuke proeverij (ongeveer 8 wijnen), goede uitleg door de dame. Daarna kregen we (nadat we de vraag stelden) ook nog een suggestie voor een andere wijnmaker in de buurt (Mas Baux) en die bleek ook geweldig te zijn!
(Translated by Google) A very special and unforgettable place for me. The wines are great, the advice is very friendly and patient, the furnishings are very loving with a feeling for details. The best thing was the giant wine barrels with, among other things, table football. The children were very busy 😉. Great evening event with music. The tapas were very good. Thank you very much, we would love to come back. Highly recommended. (Original) Ein ganz besonderer, für mich unvergesslicher Ort. Die Weine groß, die Beratung sehr sympathisch und geduldig, die Einrichtung sehr liebevoll mit Gefühl für Details. Am Besten waren die Riesenweinfässer mit u.a. Tischkicker. Die Kinder waren bestens beschäftigt 😉. Tolle Abendveranstaltung mit Musik. Die Tapas waren sehr gut. Vielen Dank, wir kommen sehr gern wieder. Sehr empfehlenswert.
(Translated by Google) A very friendly welcome and attentive to our tastes, tailoring the wine tasting to your needs. The children even enjoyed playing in the old cellar. (Original) Un accueil très sympathique et très à l'écoute de nos goûts pour adapter la dégustation des vins. Les enfants ont même apprécié le moment à jouer dans la vieille cave.
(Translated by Google) A very good address for wine lovers! We were able to enjoy a lovely tasting evening in the estate’s gardens. Very good wines on the menu, varied aperitifs, a perfect welcome, especially from the owner of the place who took great care: We recommend and we will come back! (Original) Une très bonne adresse pour les amateurs de vin ! Nous avons pu profiter d’une belle soirée dégustation dans les jardins du domaine. De très bons vins à la carte, des apéritifs variés, un accueil parfait, surtout de la part de la propriétaire des lieux qui était aux petits soins : On recommande et on reviendra !
(Translated by Google) Passion, authenticity, generosity, expertise, and above all, outstanding interpersonal skills!! The Sisqueille family possesses such qualities that we return again and again with the same enthusiasm! 🤩 (Original) Passion, authenticité, générosité, savoir-faire et surtout savoir-être au top!!

A lovely gallery with enthusiastic and informative staff.
Nice venue for Art exhibitions etc..in fact that's why I went there recently. Think it's run by the Local Council..so do check..? Someone said they have all sorts of exhibitions running right through out the year too! Be early to find a parking space as the car park gets filled up really fast and then u have to turn around to find a space on road..It's situated right in the middle of the Canet en Roussillon Village itself..so easy to find.
(Translated by Google) Always rich and immersive exhibitions (Original) Toujours des expositions riches et immersives
(Translated by Google) The Canet village gallery, welcoming and in an exceptional setting, presents quality exhibitions. (Original) La galeria de Canet villatge, acollidora i dins un marc excepcional, presenta exposicions de qualitat.
(Translated by Google) A place that harmonizes very well with the works exhibited there. (Original) Un lieu qui harmonise très bien avec les oeuvres y exposées.
(Translated by Google) Very rich and varied exhibition gallery both in terms of themes and presentation media. This is an unmissable place in Canet that you absolutely must see. It contributes to the diversity of the city's cultural offerings. The staff is particularly welcoming. (Original) Galerie d'exposition très riche et variées tant sur les thématiquesque sur les supports de présentation. Il s'agit d'un lieu incontournable de Canet à voir impérativement. Il contribue à la diversité de l'offre culturelle de la ville. Le personnel est particulièrement accueillant.
(Translated by Google) A magnificent setting within the village, where modern exhibitions blend into an ancient setting. It is cool there when the climate is harsh outside because the design of the building allows it (old walls, pebbles, etc.) To visit during a visit to the village. Not far away, towards the church, we can observe old shells which are part of the wall. (Original) Un cadre magnifique au sein du village, où se mêle des expositions modernes dans un cadre ancien. Il y fait frais lorsque dehors le climat est rude car la conception du bâtiment le permet (murs anciens, galets...) A visiter lors d'un passage au village. Pas loin, vers l'église nous pouvons observer de vieux obus qui font partie du mur.
(Translated by Google) Woda paints magnificent paintings. Personally I regret this lack of light in this gallery. Different lighting could have highlighted these splendid works. (Original) Woda peint de magnifiques tableaux . Personnellement je regrette ce manque de luminosité dans cette galerie . Un éclairage différent auraient pu mettre en valeurs ces oeuvres splendides.
