Molitor swimming pool

Parisian swimming pools are the focus of a new photographic project by Ludwig Favre. After the United States and more specifically, New York, legendary sites to which he has devoted many images, the Frenchman is returning to his roots, focusing on the Parisian urban landscape. Built in 1929 by architect Lucien Pollet, the Molitor pool in the Art Deco style is one of the finest examples of architectural heritage in the 16th arrondissement. Once nicknamed "the white ocean liner", it marked Parisian life with its avant-gardist atmosphere and the appearance of the first bikini in 1946.
