Baignade de la Villette
Baignade de la Villette is a swimming and bathing area in Paris's 19th arrondissement, located along the canal basin. The site features a sandy beach zone with loungers and facilities where visitors can cool off during warm months.
This swimming area was created in the early 2000s as part of efforts to open the canal to the public. Since then, it has become a popular gathering spot that encourages water-related recreation in the city.
The site operates seasonally and is best visited on warm days during the bathing season. Arriving in the morning helps you secure a good spot and avoid the busiest afternoon hours.
The water is regularly tested and monitored to keep swimmers safe. This commitment shows how city planners turned an industrial waterway into a space where locals can truly relax by the water.
