I´ve been looking forward to this one. 50 Meter Basin, open air and situated at the edge of a great…read morePark with a nice big patch of Grass to lie down after swimming to soak in some sun. Awesome. In theory. And don´t get me wrong, it´s all there. A great lawn for sunbathing and a 50 meter pool that is in decent shape despite it´s age. There are also some other basins, diving boards and a volleyball field. And to finish this - the staff were even reasonably friendly. On the negatives side of things there is the Building that houses the changing cabins, the wardrobe check, the showers and a little Bistro. Awful. Truly awful. Smelly, old, unwelcoming, dirty and not up to modern standards at all. So if you want to enjoy the great pool, the nice lawn and all that - you first have to pass through this little house of horrors to get there (and if you want to leave again too, of course). Would I recommend Piscine de la Grenouillere? If you can change into and out of your swim-gear in your car - yes. Practical info: bathing caps aren't mandatory but surfer-short type swimwear is forbidden. No Lockers but a wardrobe check.

Occasionally there's a price to pay. And you grit your teeth and pay the price because you want…read morewhat it'll get you. The price for this pool?....Wearing the "I have no self respect so I'm showing off my junk to the whole world, Man panties." I thought there would be a way to wiggle out of it. I'm an American, there's always a work-around but after I hear about this stupid rule we show up and there are signs all over warning swimmers of the evils of "Bermudas". I roll my eyes and not so quietly curse the French. So first I confirm that neither my wife nor my sister-in-law have a camera then I swallow my pride and wriggle into a borrowed set of Man panties. Once you're in the pool it's pretty cool, especially for kids. It's got one area where jets push you through a curvy path a little like you're the log on a log ride. Another area is set up kind of like a huge jacuzzi with seats and individual waterfalls falling on your shoulders. One feature I'd never seen before was a shallow, tiled area with a contoured section to fit your butt. You sit down, your feet dangle into the deeper end of the pool and it's tilted so that when you lay down your chest is nearly covered in water but your head is high enough that it's comfortably outside the water. Pretty cool. My main complaint, besides all the inappropriate swimwear, was that the water was just a few degrees too cold. It was nice but a couple degrees hotter would have been sooo much nicer. I would have included a few photos of the pool put as soon as I pulled out the camera an attendant hustled up and said, "It is not permitted." Well hang on there Pierre, I can't take a photo ....of a pool ....where everyone's got their clothes on but anyone can wander over to the restrooms and stand outside the floor to ceiling glass doors and watch guys pee?? Is that how this works?? 'Fraid so. We change and get ready to go and I make an astounding discovery. In the corner, before you get to the changing area is a vending machine that sells ........yep........Man panties. Just in case you forgot yours! A creative solution to a problem that didn't exist.

Quite a nice small local swimming pool. Modernized quite recently I found it quite a nice place to…read morebe. They have 3 basins, a 25x15 Meters swimmers basin without shallow end and two multipurpose basins for activities and children. Strangely both basins seem to do the same thing, one is just newer than the other and was added recently - my guess is that this reflects as how many of the pools visitors are families with children. They also have a nice area outside that you can use on warmer days. Showers are mixed (though there are two sets of showers), bathing caps are mandatory and surfer-short-type swimwear is forbidden. Lockers work with code. The people working there were all really nice and friendly and it was impeccably clean at Piscine des Blagis despite me being there on a busy weekend. Negatives? I am not a fan of these type of pools where the basin-walls are covered in this sort of concrete layer with a rough surface, I can do without the free pedicure this gives me. The Entrance fee of 5€70 is quite elevated and does not really reflect what is offered.

Parc de Sceaux absolutely blew me away. I can't believe such a beautiful, open park can be accessed…read morein Paris where it felt like you could really just enjoy nature at its finest. I recently attended a big event hosted in the park and was very impressed with the environment. Well maintained lawn area with fountains and shady paths during hot days... so much of the park was made for a nice walk or a few hours of lounging. I highly recommend bringing snacks and doing a picnic here. This is truly one of the best parks I've ever frequented. The park is easily accessed via train but you'll need to make sure your specific one stops at the station. It's a 15 minute walk from the station and well worth the effort.

Parks are one of the things the French do best and this one's a beaut. A half mile square of…read morecascades and statues and manicured trees. It's just lovely. There's a little cafe in the middle of the park. When the weather's nice you can enjoy your cappuccino or Orangina as you watch the runners and the kids pass by. And you can do all that in a park surrounded by one of the most gorgeous neighborhoods you'll ever see. Amazing. There's nothing quite like this in the States.
