No need to travel far to take a dip in an idyllic setting. Our selection of indoor and outdoor pools, to swim with panache every vacation.

In Granville, the most natural

No need to wait for high tide to swim in the heart of Granville. The XL natural swimming pool on the Plat Gousset beach is a real delight for lovers of lengths without forgetting its panoramic view. On the land side, the rose garden of Christian Dior's house, which is accessed by a path clinging to the cliff. On the sea side, in good weather, the oblong silhouette of the large island of Chausey, or even Jersey, can be seen.

After bathing, don't forget to collect your belongings before the tide covers them to try your luck at the casino or enjoy an ice cream from the famous Yver on the promenade.

In Paris, the most prominent

The most fashionable swimming pool in Paris, Molitor had many lives before becoming a luxury resort seven years ago, combining a hotel, restaurant, bar-terrace, and of course a swimming pool.

Nestled in an Art Deco decor, the azure blue water pools are reserved only for hotel guests, members of the Molitor club or visitors who have come to relax in the Spa by Clarins, which also offers access to the hammam, sauna and fitness room. A place as popular as it is exclusive, for a big bath out of sight.

13 Rue Nungesser et Coli, 75016 Paris.

In the Vaucluse, the most exotic

In the heart of an old 17th century bastide, this six-bedroom guest house, called "Metafort", offers a sublime view over the Nesque gorges. Highlight of the show, the infinity pool, overlooking the Provencal landscape and reserved for customers of the place, who can also bask in a private jacuzzi. Enough to guarantee a peaceful swim, just thirty minutes from Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.

A welcome dive, after discovering Mont Ventoux or the ochres of Mormoiron, as well as the many walks in the area, on foot or by bike, through vineyards and forests.

31 Montée du vieux hospital, 84570 Méthamis.

In Le Havre, the most architectural

Designed by architect Jean Nouvel, this splendid complex in Le Havre, Les Bains des Docks, offers a change of scenery in itself. We discover a large 50m pool, surrounded by more fun areas for families, but also a sauna or hammam.

A place playing with white and blue, natural light and massive blocks with unexpected geometries, for an atmosphere combining sport and relaxation.

Quai de la Réunion, 76600 Le Havre.

In the Parc des Alpilles, the most "personal"

A ruined 18th century farmhouse, which served as a playground for architects Liliana Atilova and Alain Meylan, La Bastide de Fléchon is an upscale villa of 350 m2, fully privatized but with hotel service. Inside this cocoon located in the heart of Provence, there is a heated infinity pool, between hundred-year-old olive trees and a barbecue area.

Every morning, a piscinist comes to inspect the basin, promising large baths in peace. Once out of the pool, a pétanque court has been set up to tease the jack with a view of the Alpilles.

3444 Mas de Flechon, 13520 Maussane-les-Alpilles.

At La Rosière, the most family-friendly

You have to follow the winding roads of La Rosière, on the border with Italy, to discover a brand new resort perched high in the heart of the imposing massifs. At an altitude of 1,950 meters, since June, a brand new Club Med complex has been throne.

Offering a 180 ° view of the Vanoise National Park, a 20m long outdoor swimming pool allows you to swim in the heart of nature and the mountains, with of course pools designed for the little ones. On very cold days, go to the heated indoor swimming pool, whose large bay windows allow you to get away from it all, while staying warm.

Route du Golf, 73700 Montvalezan.

In Hossegor, the most Californian

Facing the coming and going of the tides of the marine lake of Hossegor, this address has been an emblem of the west shore since the 1940s. Renovated and updated, the surf lodge "Les Hortensias du lac" offers its customers a swimming pool outdoor with emerald green overflow, heated and complemented by Nordic baths, a hammam and jacuzzi.

Surrounded by pine trees and only 200 meters from the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, the basin is worth the detour, before venturing out by paddle, bike or boat to discover the surroundings.

1578 Avenue du Tour du Lac, 40150 Soorts-Hossegor.
