To discover this enchanting setting, head for Joinville-le-Pont, about 30 minutes from Paris on the RER A train! Since the beginning of summer, this green setting has been hiding a secret that few people know about: a swimming spot nestled in a green setting.
For eight euros, you can enjoy a supervised swimming area all day long for young and old, sunbathe on deckchairs, read a book, picnic and more… There’ s even a refreshment bar on site, where you can nibble on snacks, enjoy ice creams and cool drinks. A sweet interlude to extend the vacation feeling, even in Paris!
Until September, you can splash around in the water almost all day long, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and until 8 p.m. on weekends. To enjoy a refreshing day out,you need to book your time directly online. Please note that you can’t book your swim more than three days in advance.
By the way, there’s another swimming spot just as nice in the area, in Maisons-Alfort. So, are you ready to bubble this weekend?
