[HIGHLIGHTS] Paris town hall asks the Aquarium to reduce its nightclub evenings

Paris town hall asks the Aquarium to reduce its nightclub evenings. The activity represents a quarter of its turnover.

Animal rights associations demand that the town hall, owner of the walls, ask the operator to put an end to it. The Paris Animaux Zoopolis (PAZ) association believes, on the contrary, that these evenings are illegal since a 2021 law prohibiting “presenting animals (...) in nightclubs” The aquarium does not have prefectural authorization to organize festive events, says PAZ co-founder Amandine Sanvisens.
