EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past and experience the unique charm of Les Bains Deligny, a historic floating swimming bath nestled in the heart of Paris, France. This photograph, taken in the 1840s, offers a rare glimpse into the interior of this extraordinary swimming pool located on the River Seine. The image reveals a bustling scene of swimmers immersed in the refreshing waters, surrounded by the ornate architecture of the bathhouse. The high ceilings and large windows allow natural light to filter in, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The pool, adorned with a French tricolor flag, is a testament to the patriotic pride of the time. The origins of Les Bains Deligny can be traced back to 1843 when it was first established by Monsieur Deligny. The floating bath was an innovative solution to the lack of accessible swimming facilities in Paris during the 19th century. It quickly gained popularity among Parisians and became a beloved institution, offering a respite from the city's heat and providing an opportunity for exercise and recreation. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of swimming and bathing in Paris during the 1840s. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a day at the baths. Les Bains Deligny remains an important part of Parisian history, a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage and its enduring love for the simple pleasure of a dip in the river.
