La Piscine

You guys know that I am totally addicted to swimming and I have missed it like hell this last year. En fait I miss it even more when it is as hot as it is here. So this is a little gem I have found in Paris for any of you who ever find yourself staying here for an extended period of time. La Piscine Georges Vallerey is une piscine découverte and is beautiful. 50m long and open late so I can go after work. Everything you need on a hot summers day after a day of doing nothing. 3.40 euros for once or 24 euros for 10 times.

Oh and don't forget that only tight trunks are allowed and it's obligatory to wear a swimming hat, un bonnet.

I was lucky enough to have the trunks down as many of you know I own a pair of infamous red speedos, but unfortunate in finding out about the swimming hat until after I had got changed so ended up walking down the street in my red speedos and towel and scaring a lady by knocking on the window of her closing shop in order to buy one.
