The Musee de la Mer of Biarritz is a very complete, very interesting one. It is very focused on fishes (cartilagenous and bony), and marine mammals, and this part well done. So is the part on sea fishing. However, while there are many other fabulous living forms on display, they are not described! Both my wife and I are biologists,... More

A bit pricey albeit it is a lovely museum. A bit repetitive and entirely geared to one language only ; yet the majority of visitors seem to be from elsewhere and other than French ! More
