Summer in Paris has taken on a whole new dimension. Thanks to the return of swimming in the Seine and the development of several supervised bathing areas, visitors can now enjoy refreshing breaks without leaving the city. Ideally located between the Marais, Canal Saint-Martin and Place de la République, Hôtel Les Deux Girafes provides easy access to several of these unique summer destinations.

 

Canal Saint-Martin and Bassin de la Villette: Eastern Paris's Summer Hotspots

Just a few minutes from the hotel, Canal Saint-Martin and the Bassin de la Villette are among the capital's favourite summer destinations. While the canal occasionally hosts supervised swimming sessions, the Bassin de la Villette offers several monitored outdoor pools that are open free of charge throughout the summer season. 

After a swim, visitors can relax along the waterfront, enjoy a café terrace or continue exploring one of Paris's most vibrant neighbourhoods.

 

 

Swimming in the Seine: A Historic Experience

 

Following the legacy of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, swimming has officially returned to the Seine during the summer months. Designated swimming areas at Bercy, Grenelle and in the historic centre allow visitors to enjoy the river safely, with water quality monitored every day. 

Swimming in the heart of Paris with iconic landmarks as your backdrop has quickly become one of the city's most memorable summer experiences.

 

 

Discover Another Side of Paris

Choosing a swimming spot is also a wonderful way to explore different neighbourhoods. Between sightseeing visits, these urban bathing areas reveal a more relaxed side of Paris, where landscaped riverbanks, parks and summer activities create a lively atmosphere enjoyed by both locals and visitors. 

From Hôtel Les Deux Girafes, all of these destinations are easily accessible by public transport or bicycle.

 

 

Experience a Summer of Culture and Relaxation at Hôtel Les Deux Girafes

After a day exploring art galleries, museums and the lively streets of the Haut-Marais, unwind at one of Paris's refreshing swimming areas. Thanks to its prime location in the 11th arrondissement, Hôtel Les Deux Girafes offers the perfect balance between cultural discovery, contemporary creativity and the relaxed Parisian lifestyle that makes summer in the capital so enjoyable.
