The best swimming pools Bourgogne

The Carrousel swimming pool has a new look for all to enjoy. Every day of the week and all year round, this gigantic space welcomes families, individuals, day-trippers and experienced sportsmen and women. The pool, which dates back to 1952, was in dire need of renovation, both in terms of layout and eco-responsibility. The new concept has therefore been rethought and adapted to comply with the latest standards in terms of eco-performance and optimum functionality. A fully green roof, rainwater harvesting, bioclimatic equipment orientation, wastewater heat recovery and ozone water treatment. Easily accessible via the urban transport network and perfectly adapted for people with reduced mobility, it excludes no one. As for the pools, there's something for everyone! A 25 m pool for swimmers, a 220 m² educational pool with water jets for the whole family and a lagoon for the little ones. The complex includes a wellness area on the first floor, with a heated pool open all year round for a "Nordic bath" effect. Outside, open in fine weather to 500 m² of shaded green space, guests can spread out their towels and enjoy access to the restaurant area. The more adventurous can try their hand on one of the four lanes of the pentagliss, while others can take advantage of the 50 m² pool, the many water games or play beach volleyball. The Carrousel swimming pool is a place to relax, keep fit and get away from it all.
