It is embedded in the centre of houses and has been classified as
an historic monument since the year 1991 and because of its appearance, like the swimming
pool Piscine Pontoise, it has been used
in films and even attracted the filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who requisitioned The
Piscine des Amiraux for filming a scene of 'Am?lie'.
The Piscine des Amiraux is hidden away in the 18th arrondissement of Paris and although it is not as well known as some
swimming pools in Paris, it is a very pleasant place to swim and far less crowded than
some.
There is a 33 metre long by 10 metre wide pool and the whole building is far more modern
than that of the Piscine de la Butte aux
Cailles, which was only built three years prior and at this place you can even book
courses in aquatic aerobics and aqua basics.
The Piscine des Amiraux is open at the following times:
Monday from 5pm through to 7.30pm
Tuesday from 7am to 8 am and from 11.30am through to 1pm
Wednesday from 7am to 8am and from 11.30am through to 5.30pm
Thursday from 7am to 8am and from 11.30am through to 1pm
Friday from 7am to 8am and from 11.30am to 1pm and a later session from 4.30pm
through to 6.30pm
Saturdays it is open from 7am through to 5.30pm
Sundays again this swimming pool is open all day from 8am through to 5.30pm
Please note that the times are subject to change and the swimming pool usually opens
for longer periods during the summer months, so it is advisable to check prior to your
arrival.
The nearest metro station is the Simplon and one of the ways to get to the Piscine des
Amiraux is by exiting the Goutte d'Or and you start by crossing the street and boulevard
Ordener Barb?s, then you take the Rue Boinod and the 4th street on your left, which is
Rue Herman La Chapelle, where you will find the swimming pool.
