SHELL MUSEUM
Activities: We went to the Muséum du Coquillage on a rainy day. At the entrance, the lady gave the kids a game booklet to fill in. Inside, we saw a unique private collection of shells from around the world, plus marine species like sharks and pufferfish. One of the most unusual things was an oyster the size of a tray!
Highlights: The kids loved filling out the game booklets. The museum offered a world of colors and shapes, with descriptions and anecdotes about the shells. 'The children loved the game booklet and they leave with a bag of shells as a gift!' ✨
