Between the early 1970s and 1980s, 184 of these pools were built using prefabricated designs.
Each pool sat beneath a 35-metre dome. Sections could pivot open, letting in sunshine during the summer. It is often nicknamed "Piscine Tournesol" or "Sunflower Pools". This is in reference to the similar way that sunflowers turn to follow the sun, echoing the pool's opening roof design.
