PISCINE DE LA BUTTE-AUX-CAILLES
Go there and contact
Built in 1925, the facility is based on a hot spring discovered in 1866 and still in use today. After the creation of a shower bath in 1908, the swimming pool opened its doors in 1924. Today, it attracts a clientele of regulars who enjoy swimming in warm water at 28°C, as much as the 1930s style of the facility. The outdoor pool and solarium are a major attraction in the early summer months. The red brick facade and the imposing vaulted ceiling of the indoor pool are well worth a look. The Butte aux Cailles swimming pool is one of several in Paris listed as Historic Monuments, like the Amiraux in the 18th arrondissement. Swimming lessons, gym-fitness, aquagym and aqua-jogging are all on offer. A few years ago, the Butte-aux-Cailles swimming pool underwent a major renovation: the pool was refurbished, the water was treated in an environmentally-friendly way, the air was better treated, the pool was given a new public area, the heritage was enhanced, the pool was brought up to technical standards, and safety and accessibility were improved. All of which will restore a lustre that many had never known before. After all, to come here is not just to swim and work out, but also to discover the capital's unique heritage. Be warned: crowds can be heavy, especially at weekends.
Les cours prévus pour les enfants de l'école maternelle annulés le jour même - vous vous rendez compte en fait quelle préparation pour les enseignantes, les parents, les enfants depuis des semaines - et tout ça pour apprendre le matin que vous avez ENCORE des soucis ? Nul.
Casiers à code récents, plus besoin de pièce ou jeton, hyper pratique (qd on n'oublie pas son numéro de casier ni son code, bien sûr).
Vestiaires globalement propres, les cabines sont à l'ancienne parfois un peu défraîchies... Il y a toujours qq'un avec un jet pour les nettoyer qd j'y vais, du coup c'est propre (mais mouillé).
