Situated in the peaceful village of Vaujany in the French Alps, the Espace Loisirs is perfect for…read morethose thundery days. With an indoors swimming pool, you can also watch the thunderstorm and the La Fare waterfall right from the whole glass wall on one side. Being empty of people outside of season, it is a perfect place to go and just relax in the hot tub with friends. During summer time, events are run for kids and adults alike such as magic, archery and waterskiing. Despite being moderately expensive, the cleanliness and great activities make it a must go.

Lovely swimming pool but don't go in your English swimming shorts (Bermuda style) or even in…read moreAustralian sun protection swimming stuff as they won't let you swim. There are notices warning you at the door and the lifeguards will pull your children out of the water for infringements. Boys and men have to wear speedo type trunks. No idea why. No idea if it is the material or the length they are objecting to. My son got away with wearing his sister's bikini bottoms but, as you can imagine, he was not keen on doing so. But once you've obeyed the dress code it is a lovely place with a water slide, a big pool, a smaller pool that is deep enough to learn to swim but not deep enough to scare you and all the other things that French pools so so well - so you could easily spend most of a day here (though it gets cheaper after 5pm)

Entrance cost €18 for a family of four, only to be told my husband could not be in the pool area…read morebecause he had board shorts. Not just that he couldn't swim in the pool. He couldn't be poolside. So we spent our time by the lake, which was nice but we could've had that for free if we'd gone a little further down the lake. Apparently boardshorts are unhygienic....the 100 or so kids peeing in the pool is fine though.

Usually there is someone at the ticket booth to see you a ticket to enter, adult fee was 6CHF. I bought a ticket from the ticket machine and then you have to scan it and go through the turnstile to enter. Women enter via the ladies locker room, etc. When you go in, you will see that you are required to shower, with your swimsuit on, before you enter the pool area, then you must clean your feet as well with the shower things for your feet, they also include a disinfectant....for me this was fabulous since I have a real problem with European showering habits. It was the cleanest locker room/pool area I have ever been to. The pool has a big indoor pool , outdoor one and a kid pool as well. There are plenty of shady spots but the thing I found strange was the chairs, there were hardly any chairs for you to sit on so people had towels on the concrete which wasn't too comfortable. For a place that size, they need more chairs. It was pleasant and I must say today was a hot one in Geneva and it wasn't a zoo as I expected nor was it too crazy with screaming kids. They have locker rooms as well , however I think you need to bring your own lock.
