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.
