With this scorching heat weighing us down, no one can say they don't dream of diving into a cool swimming pool. Unfortunately, the pools in Paris have very special hours… sometimes not quite matching up with our work schedules. But to fix this mismatch between your job and the city of Paris, here are the best pools with extended hours in Paris: All you have to do is slip on your swimsuit and your snazziest swim cap!

The Pontoise Sports Space

The hours of this pool are like a gift from heaven. From 6:30 AM to 10:45 PM (with some breaks), you can take a splash right in the heart of the Latin Quarter before heading out or after returning from the office… without having to race against the clock. But the pool isn’t its only perk: Pilates, weight training, fitness, or even squash, we’re still searching for something you can’t do at the Pontoise Sports Space!

Every day

Thérèse and Jeanne Brulé Pool

The Thérèse and Jeanne Brulé Pool is also a great place to cool off after a hard day's work. With closing hours at 10:30 PM every night of the week, it gives you the chance to refresh, let loose, and most importantly, forget about that accountant you’ve been struggling to connect with lately… So a big thank you to the wonderful people in charge of this pool who help us survive this heatwave!

Balard Swimming Pool

The Balard pool is the third and last pool in Paris that won't let us down during the hot weather. Sure, it's closed on Tuesdays, but aside from that little break, it stays open until 10:45 PM every night, even on the weekends. And even if you have the chance to swim after dinner, don't forget to wait 30 minutes after eating before you dive in!

Suzanne Berlioux Swimming Pool

Nestled in the Forum des Halles, this pool opens at 6:30 AM and closes at 11:30 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays every week. But don’t worry, it won’t let you down on the other days either, as it closes at 10:30 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and at 8:30 PM on weekends. So no more excuses, you have plenty of great reasons to visit right now!

Château Landon Pool

Located in the 10th, Château Landon pool is surely the best friend of early risers and night owls alike. Opening its doors as early as 6:30 AM and closing at 11 PM sharp on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, it gives you plenty of time to perfect your laps between meetings or just before heading out for a drink on the terrace. It's the perfect spot to shake off the stress from line 7 with just one dive!

Nestled in the 20th, this pool is a blessing for all those who don’t see daylight until night falls.

Here, night owls are taken very seriously! On Friday evening, while everyone in Paris rushes to the terraces for the traditional happy hour, you can choose a much more refreshing afterwork option since the large outdoor pool stays open until 11:30 PM ! And what about the rest of the week? No need to be jealous, the average closing times beat the rest of the capital, with doors that never close before 7:30 PM.
