Purchasing and prices

Buy your Paris swimming pool tickets online

The City of Paris has set up the "Billetterie Piscines de la Ville de Paris" website, enabling you to buy single tickets and 10-entry cards online, as well as renew your membership.
Tickets purchased online can be used at all Paris swimming pools, with the exception of Suzanne Berlioux, Espace Pailleron and Espace Sportif Pontoise.

What should I do if my season ticket is lost or stolen?

In the event of loss or theft of your membership card, you must complete a request for a duplicate card (available on site), enclosing a passport photo. Then give these documents to the pool cashier, who will pass them on to the Régie. This concerns the non-paying part of the card.
Duplicates of the season ticket cannot be issued. However, you can show proof of identity at the pool ticket office, where staff will check your access rights.
