History[]

On September 15, 1999, the channel was launched with the name of Planète 2.

On July 2002, Canal+ Group and France Télévisions signed a contract for the launch of a TV channel, showing programs based upon the famous French program Thalassa, which has been broadcast on France 3 since 1975 . This new channel replaced Planète 2 on November 1, 2002.

Because of the addition of + letter on Canal+'s thematic channels, Planète Thalassa became Planète+ Thalassa on May 17, 2011 as well as the other Planète + channels.

The channel closed his gates on the 1st day of 2016. It is because of the Découverte (Discovery) thematic too strong that CANAL+ & France Télévisions decided together to close the channel. The CANALSAT (now known as CANAL) subscribers can still watch the other Planète + channels from channel 80 to 83.
