The best swimming pools Paris 18th 75018

A large glass roof at the end of the square of the place Hébert, shaded by large chestnut trees: the swimming pool of the rue des Fillettes is a very pleasant place to do some laps and to bubble (yes, we are happy with the pun) at the edge of the water. Navigating between the small pool with paddling pool, the 25-meter pool and the solarium to catch some welcome rays, you will also have access to aquagym classes, swimming with flippers and the water garden. The well-maintained Hébert pool is like a little bubble in a very dense neighborhood.

Easy to find, since it is part of the vast sports complex of the same name, this nice pool has no less than two pools, both of which are bathed in natural light by a large glass roof, so that you almost feel like you are outside. There are also outdoor areas, including a solarium. Finally, the swimming pool is the place of many animations and particularities, among which a water garden, aquagym sessions, a swimming school and various offers for learning aquatic things!

This is one of the architectural jewels of the capital, having experienced in recent years major restoration work to restore its splendour. With a pool of impressive dimensions - 33 m x 10 m - the pool of Amiraux is distinguished by its history. The building, designed by Henri Sauvage in 1922, was intended to house the working families in a collective way. The government's desire at the time to give everyone access to leisure led to the inauguration of the swimming pool in 1930. Two floors of passageways lead to individual cabins. The tiles of the beaches and the exterior façade are identical to that of the Paris metro: swim in a jewel of Art Nouveau architecture which is classified as a Historical Monument! The complex has recently been upgraded, including a modernization of access to showers for people in wheelchairs. The atmosphere is very friendly, many regulars meet there, and moviegoers as it is in this pool that was shot a scene from the film Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain. You can learn to swim or improve and enjoy aqua-gym courses. Beware, however, this "historic" swimming pool attracts curious people and is therefore often very busy.
