A true Art Deco gem listed as a Historic Monument located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, the legendary Pontoise swimming pool will finally reopen its doors to the public on December 4 after more than two years of renovation work! Including thermal insulation, renovation of the glass roof and the installation of new technologies for air treatment, these made it possible to modernize the various installations and improve accessibility but also energy efficiency.

Designed in the 1930s by Lucien Pollet, to whom we owe the famous Molitor swimming pool and the Pailleron swimming pool, this swimming pool is today considered a true architectural masterpiece. But that's not all... This space is also a place steeped in history, since it served as the setting for emblematic films such as The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and has seen famous characters parade , like the French commander Jacques Cousteau for example.

This exceptional building houses a large 33-meter pool overlooked by a large glass roof and framed by totally vintage changing cabins! But what makes this place special is the way it transforms after dark! Swimmers can then enjoy a swimming pool magnified by the projectors which illuminate the pool from the bottom of the water, all accompanied by classical music! Original, right?

Now completely renovated and modernized, the place has expanded with a fitness area including a fitness room, a cardio area, a fitness room and even squash courts! Furthermore, please note that it is now accessible to people with reduced mobility. Sunday swimmers or high-level athletes, you are all welcome! Meet at 19 rue Pontoise in the 5^th arrondissement of Paris to enter the doors of this unique space, which combines art, history and sport!
