The pool

A natural pool, no chlorine smell.

The half-moon pool is edged by a large wooden deck with sun loungers and parasols. The water is natural and biological: a living ecosystem kept healthy without chemical treatment.

Three depths mean everyone finds their spot: 80 cm for the youngest, 140 cm, and 200 cm for confident swimmers.

In July and August, swimming is included in the park ticket and those visitors have priority. You can also come just for a swim for €5 per person: book your swim ticket online, as places go quickly in high summer. If in doubt about opening, ring +33 7 72 20 11 10.
