Bain-douche des Haies

The brick facade of this three-story Art Deco building stands at the intersection of Rue Buzenval and Rue des Haies in Paris.

Opened in 1927, architect Henri Gautruche designed this facility to provide essential bathing services when many Parisian homes lacked private bathrooms.

The building exemplifies the social infrastructure initiatives of 1920s Paris, reflecting municipal efforts to improve public health through accessible facilities.

Open six days per week from 7:30 AM to 1:00 PM, the facility provides free bathing services, though visitors need to bring their own toiletries.

This establishment serves 10,000 visitors annually, representing ten percent of all public bath users across Paris.
