Poor experience all round here. I visited with my young son unaware that swimming shorts are not allowed. There was no sign on entrance or at reception indicating this. We got changed and into the pool before being directed to a sign on a far wall with a small picture indicating this so had to leave.

I've never visited the pool yet, not interested.. but the ice skate rink is so good! I would've gave it a 5 if the song in the ice skating rink wouldn't be that loud. It hurts my head. Big ice skate rink! Perfect!! Rental skate are not that bad too.. employees are infact very nice! Love them. Keep up the good work! Love this place.

I went for swimming and found very strange that people do not need to wash them selves in the shower naked before going to the pool. You need to use the swimming cap but you do not need to wash your entire body. The water in the pool was smelling bad and I know the reason.

Best pool I've seen in France. Olympic sized. Clean. Not over crowded, which is saying something in France. All the pools I've been in have been packed with swimmers. This one was busy but not so much that it interfered with swimming. Parking lot and lockers are very old though. Glad I visited. Very fair price too. 4 Euros for an adult.
