Baignade naturelle du Grand Chambord

"An outdoor swimming pool with naturally filtered water, basically it's like a small man made lake but with a swimming pool floor. The location is very nice and relatively quiet. You pay a entrance fee of 5.50 (adults) per day, but can come and go as you want; soa quick swim followed by a visit to a château and again a refreshing swim is definitely possible. The entrance is operated by what I think are volunteers. Sadly the payment by cash was not possible yesterday and electronic payment is excruciatingly slow, causing queues. The terrain includes a large pool with multiple terasses, a snack corner, lifeguard post, free showers and changing rooms. All in all a very nice place to spend a hot day."

"The absurdity of an outdoor swimming pool, where birds can swim (and more) but where you can't wear swim shorts... and you have to pay anyway even if you are not allowed to swim."

"Nice place to relax, clear waters, although a bit cool, great place to swim when cycling through the countryside. Parking close by."

"A real find. Natural reed bed filtered public pool / bathing area."

"A pool lined with vinyl which is covered in moss. Very slippery getting in , my partner almost fell over. The water is green ! I wasn't allowed in wearing swimming shorts . You must wear speedos! You can buy some at the shop for 22euros. There is no seating or picnic tables here. You must bring your own chair or sit on the grass. Not ok if you have mobility issues or are older. There are a couple of picnic tables outside the park and they are in disrepair. My advice is save yourself 5.50 eur and go somewhere else."
