Rent an apartment with a rooftop pool on Airbnb
If the idea of squatting a municipal swimming pool terrifies you, we have the idea of the year. A beautiful apartment like a terrace suite with a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower in the heart of a high-end residence near Les Gobelins . Surprise on the top floor: a swimming pool with a view of the rooftops of Paris, unearthed on Airbnb … It feels like Melrose Place .
At €140 a night, this is a nice surprise for chilling and sunbathing when leaving the office. Just take your swimsuit, enjoy the pool and the view! Too easy. The extra thing? A fitness area and a ping-pong table, enough to maintain or start sculpting your summer body.

Enough to enjoy the comings and goings of beautiful swimmers from the lawn.

Do your lengths in a listed historic monument at the Butte aux Cailles
This is the promise of the extremely chic Butte Aux Cailles swimming pool … It must be said that the sublime setting of this 1920s establishment could be the perfect setting for a film.
Its 25m outdoor pool is idyllic and deliciously “ no kids ” since a small 12m pool next to it is reserved for them (phew!). And don't forget the superb solarium , ideal for reading in the fresh air, just like on vacation. All for 3 francs six sous.
