Belvès Municipal Pool

Just a short walk from the centre of the medieval village of Belvès, the municipal pool offers a refreshing escape during the hot summer months. Open-air and surrounded by trees and rolling countryside, it’s a fantastic spot to unwind with friends or family after a morning of sightseeing or shopping at the weekly market.

The pool complex includes a main swimming pool, a smaller children’s pool, and a gently twisting waterslide that’s popular with kids of all ages. There are grassy shaded areas where you can lay out a towel, enjoy a picnic, or read a book while staying cool under the trees. A small kiosk is often open in high season for drinks and snacks.

Common French Pool Dress Code Rules:

Only tight-fitting swimwear is allowed – such as slips de bain (swim briefs) or boxers de bain (tight swim shorts).

Loose-fitting trunks, board shorts, and T-shirts are generally not allowed.

Swim caps may be required, although this varies by location.

Proper swimwear hygiene is a key reason for the rule (to avoid bringing dust or clothing fibres into the pool water).
