The Maison des Océans in Paris, inaugurated on the 23^rd January 1911, completes Prince Albert I of Monaco's work. It fulfils an important void in Sciences teaching in France at the beginning of the 20^th Century: the new discipline of oceanography whose importance was only coming to light, and the Prince wished to become its "propagator".

The results of his campaigns were presented in renowned locations and in front of specialised audiences: the Academy of Sciences in Paris, the Society of biology, the Zoological Society of France and various geographical societies so to expand, his wish was to erect a centre for studies and teaching.

Therefore this building was designed, drawn by Henri-Paul Nénot, architect of the Sorbonne, associated to the statutory Constant Roux and Paul Landowski, the painter Louis Tinayre and the decorators Emmanuel Cavaillé-Coll and Léon Laugier.

The building can be found at 195, rue Saint-Jacques in Paris, 5^th arrondissement. The building is located close to the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Pantheon, in the intersection of rue Saint-Jacques and Gay-Lussac.

The Maison des Océans regularly hosts international conferences bringing together experts, entrepreneurs and political decision-makers to discuss the main challenges of sustainable management of the oceans.
