A great opportunity to refresh yourself at the gates of Bordeaux. Located as an extension of the port of Audenge, the swimming pool called "Emile Ortel" is a saltwater pool fed by the tides. Unlike the Miroir d'Eau in the city center, swimming here will be more spacious and less crowded thanks to its 170 meters in length and 17 meters in width.
Equipped with 3 different levels of baths (small, medium, and large), the swimming area is suitable for everyone. Handicap access, ladders, and stairs allow easy entry into the fresh water. Additionally, there are nearby changing rooms and showers for maximum comfort. And of course, there is a lifeguard and 3 lifeguards to ensure safety.All swimmers, and children in particular.
A highly appreciated stop for Bordeaux residents to change things up from the ocean beaches and diversify swimming, the Emile Ortel swimming basin in Audenge is open to the public from June to September.
