Looking for an outdoor pool to cool off in and get a tan at the same time? We'll take you on a tour of outdoor pools in Paris and the Paris region. Here are just a few of the places to swim and sunbathe in the Paris region!

Looking for an open-air pool in the Paris region? Whether you're a keen sports swimmer or a leisure swimmer, there are plenty of sunny spots in Paris and the Paris region where you can take a dip in the sun. The capital and its region are overflowing with superb swimming spots for all levels and all publics.

For families, there are pools equipped with waterslides for the enjoyment of young and old alike, while the more sporty can challenge themselves in the Olympic-sized pools that await us in the four corners of the region, including the capital! And between two swimming sessions in these outdoor pools, you can relax in the sun in one of the solarium areas to perfect your tan.

Here are a few ideas for good spots with outdoor pools or removable roofs for sunbathing and swimming. Paris looks like a seaside resort! Please note, however, that some of these pools are only open for part of the year, so we suggest you contact the locations directly to ensure that the outdoor pools are accessible during your visit.
