The free Louis Lumière open-air swimming pool in Paris this summer 2023

We don't say it often enough, but Paris is a mine of good ideas for going out without necessarily spending money and putting a hole in your wallet. Would you like to go swimming, but don't want to break the bank? In addition to the famous basins of La Villette that everyone knows by now, there are a number of free swimming spots in and around Paris.

We're heading for the 20th arrondissement, to the Centre sportif Louis Lumière at 30 rue Louis Lumière, to discover the free pool that's been open to us every year since 2019 from now on. The pool is just a few steps from the Porte de Bagnolet metro station and the Marie de Miribel tramway.
