Cool off at the Piscine Joséphine Baker, a floating pool right on the Seine. Slide open the retractable roof in summer and swim with river views on either side, alongside crowds of Parisians escaping the heat.

Reasons to go

The pool is a floating structure moored on the Seine River, named after entertainer and civil rights icon Joséphine Baker.
A retractable roof lets it switch between an open-air summer pool and a covered pool in cooler weather.
Entry costs only €3.50, and swimmers get river views on either side of the pool.

Reviews

My favorite pool! Super clean, staff super nice and lovely and helpful! For the locker don't forget to take a 1€ coin. The pool because it is outdoor can feel cold for those xho are more sensitive.
