Experience a magical moment as you witness the birth of a river. It all begins with a single drop… that’s soon joined by many others! Caress the water with the palm of your hand, inhale the fragrance of the surrounding forest, and meet the first residents of this watery world. Can you spot the gammarus and crayfish?

Listen to the sounds of the water as it cascades over the falls, before crossing a bridge to the other side of the river. The journey continues along the River Têt, all the way to the sea. The sun will join you on your stroll along the banks.

Time to discover the Canet-en-Roussillon estuary, where water that has made its way down from the mountains finally meets the sea. Immersed in these habitats that reveal the path taken by Catalan waters, you’ll discover a huge animated model that illustrates the natural water cycle.

Stop by the Canet-en-Roussillon lagoon where you’ll see spectacular flights of pink flamingos. Next, you’ll continue exploring the Mediterranean Sea and meet the wealth of species that call it home. Virtual projections whisk you away to meet the wildlife that lives in these biotopes.
