A charming swimming pool, the oldest in Rennes, a living monument of Rennes heritage to discover.

A landmark of 1920s hygienism still in use today, this resplendent site is reminiscent of the spa resorts of the belle époque. Built in 1926 in the Art Deco style by Odorico, Rennes' emblematic mosaic artist, it is the oldest swimming pool in Rennes. Entirely lined with bluish tesserae, its 33 x 14 m pool and unchanged architecture (with the exception of the ceiling) give it a special, timeless beauty. A living monument to Rennes' heritage, to be visited even without dipping a toe in!

C'est vrai vraiment besoin d'un relooking ça fait sombre il pourrait mettre au-dessus du toit une espèce de baie vitrée ou je ne sais quoi ça éclairerait plus la piscine on a l'impression d'être enfermer dans une boîte

Es increíble por dentro y por fuera pero está cerrada desde el 3 de julio hasta el 4 de septiembre de 2023 cuando justamente más podría usarla. Es una lástima.

An absolutely amazing pool space, and a great visit for swimmers. The art deco building is like stepping back 100 years. The 33.33M length is odd by modern standards, but interesting to experience. The pool is fairly deep at it's shallowest, so may not be the best for inexperienced children (consider Piscine Gayeulles). The changing stalls are in the older tradition, where you enter one side, change, and pass through the other directly onto the pool deck itself.

Note there is no parking for the pool, although I've found street parking easily in the past. There are several bus stops nearby and it's a very short walk from the Saint-Germain Metro station.

Unfortunately, Saint-Georges is often closed for long periods (the entire summer 2023, for example), and even when open the times change often, so check with the pool website before going - don't rely on the times posted by Google.

An amazing place. The old school decor is well maintained and so aesthetically pleasing. I spent a lot of time staring at the mosaics. The changing room setup reminds you of Wes Anderson movie. A must visit even if you don't want to swim.
