After more than a year of closure, the Vaise swimming pool has been given a fresh look and reopened its pools. Closed since June 2024 for a large renovation project, it welcomed back visitors on Saturday, September 20, coinciding with the Heritage Days. This symbolic reopening signifies the return of a must-visit spot for local residents and all swimming enthusiasts in Lyon.
A facelift for a facility built in 1968
Built in 1968, the Vaise swimming pool was in need of a makeover. The project, costing 7 million euros, has modernized all the facilities. The waterproofing and tiling of the pools have been renovated, the diving boards have been revitalized, and the accessibility of the pools has been updated to meet current standards. This ensures well-deserved comfort for users.
