Toujours agréable....dommage que les règles changent au jour le jour ....
Endroit sympa avec une vraie piscine naturelle, donc pas de chlore. Le cadre est agréable et vous pouvez également vous sustenter et boire un verre en terrasse. Deux parkings à proximité. Seul petit bémol, les maillots shorts ne sont pas autorisés pour les hommes, mais cela n’atténue en rien la qualité des lieux.
I can’t belive that if I have a slightly longer swimsuit I can't swim. This is ridiculous... being a tourist, I don't have more than one swimsuit, considering we're in Belgium! I'd also add that I've seen several people with swimsuits the same length as mine, and the lifeguarde didn't give a damn, it almost seems discriminatory toward me since im not from belgium. This “rule” appears made up to make more money since they offered me to go buy a shorter swimsuit at their shop. A good use of 6€ if you like sitting and doing nothing under the burning sun...
Première fois la semaine passée et pas déçu du tout ! Très beau cadre et ce n'est pas saturé de gens. La piscine étant une piscine naturelle, l'eau y est très froide (parfait pour moi 😂). Ne vous étonnez pas si vous y trouvez la présence de sangsues, celles-ci sont visibles et facilement contournables et il n'y à rien de dangereux. Pour clôturer la journée, un petit verre en terrasse idéal pour profiter avec une vue agréable vers le bassin. Je recommande pour tout ceux qui aiment la fraîcheur.
