Sport/Recreation
The Piscine de la Butte-aux-Cailles dates to the 1920s and is known for using naturally warm artesian well water, a distinctive feature among Paris's public pools. Reviewers consistently call it beautiful, though it does get crowded, and note it has occasionally closed earlier than scheduled.

What people say
"Beautiful pool. Be smart with your timing as it gets crowded. The pool closed unexpectedly early during my visit without any warning... Changing rooms aren't the cleanest but the space and the outdoor pool more than make up for it."
— Paul Laroque
