PHOTO-REPORTAGE - AN INDOOR LAP POOL IN THE ANJOU COUNTRYSIDE

This highly alluring indoor lap pool in a gîte opens out onto the Anjou countryside.

It is contemporary while deliberately retaining a rustic feel and boasts modern lines and equipment while also perfectly complementing the time-worn objects surrounding it.

The wide patio doors along the length of the pool provide a series of vignettes of the Anjou countryside. When sat on the indoor sofas, the pool becomes a hypnotic mirror urging guests at this gîte to lose themselves in their thoughts.

We should point out that this pool was installed from a kit and won the Gold Trophy for a swimming pool installed by a private individual. It stands testament to Piscinelle's expertise and consulting skills on self-build projects, an option taken up by many of its customers.

Piscinelle's self-build pools are all high-end products. The proof can be seen in this perfect build.

Customer feedback
" We wanted the best for our customers. The major benefit with Piscinelle is that we were able to do everything ourselves without skimping on quality … and treat ourselves to this magnificent pool."

This gîte in the middle of the countryside is surrounded by fields and and herds of animals going quietly about their business, providing a strong link with nature. It's like a haven of colours and scents, which is apt considering that this designer gîte is named Le Chromatic.

The wooden surrounds are made of pine, giving this indoor pool an authentic feel. The crystal-clear water in the pool and the sun's reflections on the perfectly calm surface give a sense of peace to the scene providing an ideal space for visitors to rest or become lost in their thoughts.

This bright, elegant pool is like a magnet hypnotising visitors.

The transition between the in and outdoor areas is very effective and remarkably subtle.

Wide patio doors are positioned along the edge of this extremely well-lit indoor lap pool, opening out onto the Anjou countryside and letting in abundant spring sunshine.

This long indoor lap pool opens up the space and gives new volume to the room.

The room housing the swimming pool is separated from the old wing of the house by a thick wall whose rustic look gives the scene incredible charm.

The modern structure houses a Piscinelle pool that lights everything up with its silvery reflections. A host of small objects brighten up the room and give the setting a slightly old-fashioned feel.

Cast iron light fittings and radiators accentuate the industrial feel of the building with its framework of metal beams.

The pool's slate-grey liner contrasts with the colours and aged look of the wall and decorative items.

The wide patio doors along the length of the pool provide a series of vignettes of the Anjou countryside. When sat on the indoor sofas, the pool becomes a hypnotic mirror urging guests at this gîte to lose themselves in their thoughts.

In and out. With the patio doors open, it's like an indoor and outdoor pool rolled into one with decking in the same materials extending outside.

The transition between the in and outdoor areas is very effective and remarkably subtle.

The whole house radiates genuine harmony and offers the luxury of a quiet country setting away from the city.

Like a work of art, the vertical and horizontal lines intersect and are reflected in the pool surface.

The pool room has a similar feel to the adjoining living room, with its simple, designer look, rattan furniture and cushions giving visitors the feeling of being far away.

Sat in the sun by the poolside with a book, sunglasses and sun hat … such are the simple pleasures of a Piscinelle pool.

Outdoor lamps and some fresh fruit on a large wooden table are all that's needed to while away a summer afternoon and evening by the pool.

After a few lengths in the Anjou sun, visitors can take a well-earned break on this beautiful deck on the edge of the fields.

This stripped-down gîte with its understated style radiates unique charm. The simple materials structuring the space create a sense of calm and perfectly complement the house's clean lines and large areas.

While sitting on the rattan chairs by the lap pool, an deep sense of transparency and light puts the observer in a meditative state.

The lap pool built by its owner with remote support from teams at Piscinelle is perfectly integrated in this gîte. We are proud to have played a role in our customer's successful project.

Part of the pool room has been clad with the same wood variety used to build the indoor and outdoor decks. Another reason it all works so well is that this large space is divided into separate sections, making it more aesthetically pleasing.

A whole series of reflections, with the charmingly simple old-fashioned mirrors echoing the nearby reflections from the water, like those of an Andalusian reflection pool.

When the patio doors are open and the sun is out, it's an outdoor pool and with the doors closed, it's an indoor lap pool … an installation perfectly combining indoors and outdoors for users' pleasure.

While sat on the Escabanc steps in the sun, the hours drift by with the mind wandering between daydreams, fancies and all sorts of other pleasant thoughts.

A few simple, carefully chosen details including old books, a wickerwork basket and a bunch of sunflowers set the scene for this swimming pool in the Anjou countryside.
