About
Maréis invites visitors to step into the world of Etaples fishermen through an immersive, 1‑hour 30‑minute guided tour that showcases modern fishing techniques, marine life from the North Sea, and the day‑to‑day life aboard a trawler. Guests can explore interactive exhibits, watch live feeding demonstrations, and learn how young seafarers are trained in knot‑tying, navigation, and rescue operations—all narrated by former fishermen. The centre also offers a temporary freshwater expedition, a family‑friendly aquarium with seals, rays and shrimp, and hands‑on workshops for children. With the optional guided component the experience runs about two hours, making it ideal for families, schools, and maritime enthusiasts.
