Le Camp announces the completion of its natural swimming pond.  Although this is one of France's first pools of this kind, the concept of swimming in clean, fresh water goes back to prehistoric times.  As with a natural lake, plants and gravels will clean the water by breaking down all organic matter and turning it into nutrients.  Much better for both swimmers and the environment since it completely removes the need for any chemical sterilization. 

This has been a challenging project, not only because of the scale and size of the pool, but also because we are pioneering a new concept in regional France - and so finding people to work with us with the right skills and know-how, overcoming planning hurdles and managing the project has been difficult.  We are pleased with the end result, as we have created a chemical free swimming area that truly blends with the beautiful surrounding environment at Le Camp. Swimming in fresh clear water is a real luxury rarely experienced by people today. Enjoy.
