No need to take paid leave or drive for hours just to enjoy a little swim: only 1h30 from Paris, this little slice of paradise is nestled among the thousands of pines in the Fontainebleau forest. With a warm pool, shady spots, sandy areas, and a thousand and one activities, it's definitely our favorite spot for this summer!
An oasis in the heatwave
When temperatures rise, all Parisians naturally head to the beaches and lakes of Île-de-France, leaving behind a unique pool in Seine-et-Marne. Amidst 146 hectares of lush nature in the Fontainebleau forest, and especially less frequented than other water spots near the capital, the Buthiers leisure base is the refreshing getaway we all need right now.
Whether it's to awaken your inner child with the three slides and the...
water games or for swimming laps in the silence of nature, you will always have a spot in the 1,400 m² pool. There, you can sunbathe on the sand, seek refuge in the shade to cool off, and enjoy the magnificent setting of this place for just 4.50 € per person.Voir cette publication sur Instagram
And after taking a dip?
Yes, yes, we haven't told you everything! In addition to literally saving our lives from June to September, the Buthier leisure center offers, besides its gigantic swimming pool, a multitude of activities that are more fun than the next!
Rock climbing, mountain biking, astronomy, tennis, or even indoor surfing, we really recommend checking out their website to discover all the activities they offer.
