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.
Après des travaux janvier 2024, les casiers sont tout neufs, à code, et ne nécessitent plus de pièce. Les cabines ont été rafraîchies, et les portes ferment mieux. Le carrelage du bassin extérieur et les séparateurs de lignes ont été nettoyés des algues. Les cartouches anti-calcaire ont été remises sur les douches, mais l’eau est pour l’instant froide (22° sur le thermomètre des tuyaux du plafond).
Les deux bassins restent propres et agréables.
