Art déco Piscine Saint-Georges

The Saint-Georges swimming pool is a municipal swimming pool built between 1923 and 1926 in Rennes. Emmanuel Le Ray, the city's architect, designed the project in 1911. He designed the exterior elements which were executed by the Parisian ceramists Gentil and Bourdet.

The decoration of the swimming pool and public baths was carried out during construction by Isidore Odorico (son) in Briare enamels. The decorative program created (pool, promenades, footbaths, bottom of the tanks), represents one of the major achievements of Art Deco in France.

Designed by Jean Janvier then Alfred Daniel, it was created by Mayor Carle Bahon between 1923 and 1926.Read more
