Bathing in the Loire without the Loire

With its blond sands and its nonchalant waters (apparently!), the Loire, in summer, plays the temptress. But it is true that, for those who do not know it, it is rather dangerous.

So what's up?
So the city of Les Ponts-de-Cé presents a unique facility, a 3000 m² natural water bath. This filtered water comes from the nearby Loire River. Around, beach and lawn...
In short, it is indeed bathing in the Loire... without the Loire!

Of course, the whole area is open to locals and vacationers. For those who stay at the nearby Slow Village, the entrance is free.
