Piscine Joséphine-Baker, Swimming pool in Paris, France
Piscine Joséphine-Baker is a swimming pool in Paris, France, located on the Seine. It has a main pool with a movable roof and a sun deck, offering views of the river and the city.
The pool opened in 2006 as part of a project to bring swimming facilities to the Seine. It was named in honor of Josephine Baker, who lived in Paris and is remembered for her contributions to French culture and society.
The pool is named after Josephine Baker, the American-born French entertainer and civil rights activist. Local swimmers often enjoy the sun deck in summer, which feels like a beach along the river.
The pool is easy to reach on foot or by public transport, and it is a good idea to check opening hours before you go. Bring your own swim cap and towel, as these are required and not always available on site.
The pool sits on a barge moored to the riverbank, and its roof can be opened or closed depending on the weather. This makes it possible to swim outdoors even on cooler days.
