Piscine Lutetia, Art Deco swimming center in 6th arrondissement of Paris, France.

The interior features green granito floors, blue and gold Briare enamel walls, and three large nests made of woven ash slats reaching nine meters high.

Built in 1935 by architect Lucien Béguet, the pool served as a private facility for Hotel Lutetia until German forces requisitioned it during World War II.

Following the Liberation of Paris, General de Gaulle transformed the swimming center into a reception facility for concentration camp survivors returning to France.

Since 2010, the former swimming pool at 17 Rue de Sèvres has operated as a concept store for the luxury brand Hermès.

The swimming pool measured 33 meters in length and 10 meters in width, featuring an artificial wave generation system during its operational period.
