Unique Valentine's Night Event in France
A Valentine’s Day event with a real difference as Nausicaa, one of the largest aquariums in Europe celebrates in a special, magical “mer veilleuse” evening (mer is French for sea).
I went to the Christmas “mer veilleuse” evening and I’m definitely hooked. There is something very special about almost having this place to yourself, seeing the fish in their huge tanks, two enormous touch pools, giant tortoises, cayman, sealions, penguins and 36,000 more animals. It knocks spots off of any other aquarium I’ve been to and the champagne and canapés, served in a soft light by the huge glass windows of the tropical lagoon makes it a very unique and very special night.
Starting at 6.30 pm, couples will be able to spend a unique few hours in a convivial, romantic atmosphere. Sip a glass of champagne and enjoy freshly prepared canapés as you experience the wonderful diversity of multi-coloured species in the lagoon and have a face-to-face encounter with sharks – fin-tastic .
There will be fun events and soft music and everything will be arranged to ensure that the Valentine’s Day “Mer Veilleuse” evening is unforgettable. To prolong the magic of the evening, there will be serving a gourmet dinner prepared by award-winning chef, Tony Lestienne in the heart of the tropical lagoon. A tête-à-tête, violins, champagne and an elegant fine dining experience are all on the menu.
An exceptional event in an unusual location for a few, privileged couples and while it might be cold outside you’re assured of a warm ambience at Nausicaa on Valentine’s Night:
