If you’re moving to the Dordogne or investing in a holiday home here, chances are you’ve pictured long summer afternoons by your own pool. But beyond the pleasure, there are real advantages to installing a swimming pool on your property.

Here are the top benefits of having your own pool in France:
1. Quality of Life
Nothing compares to stepping into your own pool on a hot Dordogne afternoon. Whether you enjoy swimming laps, cooling off after gardening, or hosting friends, a pool adds relaxation and fun to everyday life.
2. Health & Fitness
Swimming is one of the best forms of low-impact exercise. Owning a pool makes it easier to stay active and healthy without leaving your home.
3. Increase Property Value
In the Dordogne, a well-built and well-maintained swimming pool can make your home more attractive to buyers or renters. For holiday rental properties, a pool is often the number one request from guests.
4. Tailored to Your Needs
Modern pools come in many shapes, sizes, and finishes. From family-friendly designs with steps and shallow zones to sleek, contemporary styles, you can create a pool that suits your lifestyle and property.
5. Long-Term Enjoyment
With the right design, liner, and equipment, a pool is an investment that will bring joy for decades. Renovation and upgrades are always possible, meaning your pool can evolve with your needs.
