Water area of the Base Recreation, Bathing lake in Apt, France.
The recreational bathing site features a swimming pool with two depth sections flanked by wooden deck areas and sunbathing zones. The grounds also include table tennis tables, fitness stations, water play zones, and a skate park for varied recreational activities.
The recreational complex was established in 1985 from a river development project on the Riaille, created to offer outdoor activities for the Luberon region. This development gave residents and visitors new ways to enjoy recreation and sports nearby.
The site functions as a community gathering place where local groups organize sports events and meetings throughout the year. You see people training together and participating in regular gatherings, especially during the warm months.
The grounds are freely accessible with free parking and picnic areas spread throughout the site. Most facilities work best from late spring through early autumn when weather is warmest and most stable.
A specialized fishing zone sits alongside the swimming areas, allowing both pastimes to coexist within the same space. This layout keeps anglers and swimmers separate so neither activity interferes with the other.
