(Last Update: 05.09.2024) In this article, we will tell you about a very interesting swimming pool in Paris. Josephine Baker PoolI want to talk about. Every time I see this place, I think of the pool on Galatasaray Island. I think the idea of swimming in a swimming pool in the middle of the Bosphorus is really very special and privileged. Of course, there is no comparison, but Piscine Joséphine Baker, in paris Seine River a swimming pool you can swim in I think it deserves attention as it is. What I'm saying is that there is no comparison, the Seine River is what we have, so we should learn to take advantage of our current opportunities and make the best use of what we have :)
This “piscine (you are dirty)/pool” name Josephine Baker, famous French singer-dancer of American originIt takes from . While preparing the article, I researched Joséphine Baker's life story and saw, oh my God, what a colorful life, full of storms and struggles, it is impossible not to be impressed. He was born into a poor family in Missouri in 1906, started performing on Broadway at the age of 17, and became famous in Paris, where he arrived at the age of 18. She danced on stage wearing nothing but a skirt made of bananas, and became famous first in Paris and then all over the world. The part of his story that impressed me most was his fight against racism in America and the idea of the "Rainbow Family" he established with children from 11 different backgrounds to show people the absurdity of discriminations such as religion, language, gender, color, etc.
Going back to our pool, I mean, I didn't know this story when I first went to this pool. My French course friend Rosanna, who is of Australian origin, first invited me here. It was a summer day and Seine River The idea of swimming in a pool above seemed very interesting to me. I had a very enjoyable time here. For some reason, I always went here with Rosanna on subsequent trips.

The pool, which is open in summer, has a special glass system that closes in cold weather. 13. borough'in, M6 metro The pool, which is close to the Quai de la Gare station of the line, is also Bibliothèque Nationale de France, National Library of FranceIt is also two steps away from .

2006The pool, which has been serving Parisians since open every day of the week. Of course, the French, who like to complicate everything, have also made the opening hours of this place a bit strange. Therefore, I would like to ask you to find out the hours it is open day by day, from the official web page link at the end of the article.
Before I forget, let me state, You definitely need to wear a swimsuit when entering swimming pools in Paris. Loose clothing such as swimming shorts is never allowed. It is mandatory to take a shower before entering the pool and of course swimming without a cap is strictly prohibited.
The truth is, we should not forget that this is a public and municipal pool. That's why it should not be confused with the services in private clubs. Changing cabins, sinks and showers are average. I recommend you not to keep your expectations too high, but I still think you can have an enjoyable day here.

Let's end our article with a song from Joséphine Baker's voice, remembering the artist while swimming in this pool:
“There was a pleasant sound in this dome that remained…”
