Cineaqua/L’Aquarium de Paris

The Cineaqua (L'Aquarium de Paris) offers an unforgettable show for young and old, with 50 ponds, 750 coral colonies, 2,500 jellyfish, a koi fish touch pool and more than 10,000 fish and invertebrates of all the seas of France. They also have the largest shark tank in France (3,000,000 L of water) with 38 great sharks. Cineaqua is a delightful aquarium, if a bit overpriced, Under the hill of Chaillot between the Trocadero gardens and the Seine river about a 10 minute walk across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.

The Eurocent machine is in the cafe/gift shop to the right of the entrance where you pay. It is technically within the exit turnstile (though there is room to walk next to it, so you could probably convince them to let you enter without paying admission). The Eurocent machine uses a 5 cent Euro piece with cost of 1€ per design. Attendants are willing to give change, but 5 cent Euros are hard to come by so best to come prepared. No on site parking.
