The work is far from over, but we can already imagine our feet in the water of the Grand Nancy Thermal pools. Nine months before its opening to the public, scheduled for the end of March 2023, the thermal and aquatic complex opened its doors to the public on Saturday June 11 for guided tours of the works. The opportunity to realize their progress, and to imagine the new face of the thermal baths, under renovation since 2020.
The conquered visitors
The guided tours have filled up. “We received around 400 people on the day”welcomes Bruno Verbaere, president of Grand Nancy Thermal Development, a stakeholder in this renovation. “Faced with success, we will offer new ones this summer and in the fall”. Visits will be offered in particular on July 2.

And visitors are impressed. “It’s great, better than I imagined”, raves Therese. “I come to see what the place looks like, in anticipation of my treatment next year.” Alban and his daughter Josephine are more sensitive “to the leisure pools, in addition to the Olympic swimming pool. This creates an interesting offer.” Eventually, the complex will have 17 indoor and outdoor pools, in addition to green spaces, treatment cabins and hotel rooms.
Access at the same price as the other pools
On the price side, access to swimming pools and play areas will be at the same price as that of the other swimming pools of the metropolis. “The care and well-being part will be subject to another tariff, under discussion with the operator. We want this service to be as accessible as possible. But let’s not forget that it is an economical operation, which allows to create several hundred jobs, and it must be viable”concludes François Werner, vice-president of the metropolis of Greater Nancy.
