ABOUT

The Val Parisis Aquatic Center, officially named Centre Aquatique Alice Milliat, is a brand-new sports complex opening in June 2023 in Taverny, France. It is an Olympic-size swimming pool.

The aquatic center was designed as a training center for athletes in 2024, although it will also be open to the public. The choice of materials for the interior cladding and exterior façade emphasizes durability, water resistance and aesthetics.
