The most beautiful swimming pools in Paris
With this nice weather and the heat coming quickly, we would like to take a dip in a nice cool pool ! And as we are in Paris for a few weeks, here is our selection of the 3 most beautiful pools to stroll in!
1. The Pontoise swimming pool
This swimming pool in the 5th arrondissement is known for its historical value. Indeed, its buildings (built in 1933) are classified as historical monuments. It was also made famous by Jacques Cousteau with his diving suit tests.
What do we like? The possibility of night baths and its large 33-metre pool.
It costs about 5 euros to enter.
2. The Butte aux Cailles swimming pool
Another swimming pool classified as a historical monument ! It is one of the most famous swimming pools in Paris with its Art Nouveau façade.
Why do we like it? For its spring water supply and its low price : 3 euros.
3. Josephine Baker Pool
Finally, Josephine Baker. Located in the 13th arrondissement, this floating pool has solariums and a 25-metre pool. Very popular with Parisians for its beautiful view of Paris and the Seine, its entrance fee is 3 euros.
4. The other emblematic swimming pools
Paris has many swimming pools, but if we had to add a few to our selection it would be :
- The Keller swimming pool in the 15th arrondissement
- Château Landon and Catherine Lagatu in the 10th arrondissement
Finally, we also love the Molitor swimming pool, but it’s quite a budget! And you, what are your favourite pools?
When you have foreign travellers, you can be sure that they will have all the information in their language !
For most of you, summer is a pivotal time. But how do you fill in your booking calendar ? It’s over here !
1. On the internet
This is where it all comes together! Think now about :
- Update your prices
- Update your photos
- List all possible activities near you in summer
Also very important : highlight all your key assets. A swimming pool, a bright house, a view of the sea… The key word is to make travellers want to book with you and not elsewhere.
2. Summer at home
Let the sunshine in ! Don’t forget to do some spring cleaning (curtains, carpets, household appliances…) and add a few touches of colour !
Travellers come to have a good time, relax and enjoy the sun, so help them ! Why not provide them with a few things :
- Sunscreen
- Beach towels
- Straw hats (which can also be used as decoration…)
And to take it a step further, don’t hesitate to provide them with :
- Cold drinks
- A nice fruit basket
And you, more summer or winter for your reservation ?
By the way, did you know that you don’t have to be there to open the door for your travellers ? This is one of the advantages of the key box. Find out more !
What is vegan tourism?
We know about sustainable and eco-responsible tourism, but recently it’s vegan tourism that is making the news! Far from being the work of a few people, it is a demand increasingly expressed by travellers!
1. What is vegan tourism?
As you can see, vegan tourism is related to sustainable tourism. The difference is mainly in the food, for example: Food Tours without tasting animal products, gastronomic meals offering only vegan dishes.
Let’s remember the definition of vegan: “a person who excludes all animal products from their diet and daily life”.
2. What is my interest in offering it?
In concrete terms, to offer a vegan experience, you don’t have to do much. All you have to do is pay attention to the materials used in your home and the products made available to your customers (forget about milk, honey, etc.).
You can set up a list of addresses to eat at or a small recipe from home revisited for them.
Keep in mind that this new proposal can bring you additional customers. And as the offer is not yet very large, by proposing this type of tourism, you are entering into the vegans’ (“vegan” and “traveller”) folders.
If you needed proof that it’s a good thing to start, here are a few sites created by vegans: Vegantravel, the Veggie Hotels network and Veganfoodtours, which offers 100% vegan tours of French cities from a different angle.
So, are you won over by vegan tourism? Why don’t you do the same, for example by proposing some good vegan restaurant addresses in your StyQR?
