SWIMMING POOL
After the beach, there is also a very handsome swimming pool at Saint-Martin
You can find it in the Saint-Martin artisanal zone nearby the Leclerc supermarket. It has a 25m pool for serious swimmers, a waterslide for children, a balneotherapy area for epicureans. It’s clean and it’s new. A good place to go when it’s not sunny enough for the beach.
