Schoolchildren were the first to return to the pool in Argentré-du-Plessis, which was rehabilitated following a fire.
The community pool in Argentré-du-Plessis, located in Ille-et-Vilaine, welcomed new users on Monday, November 2, 2026. Primary school students were the first to enter the facilities to test the equipment, marking the official beginning of the reopening of the sports facility.
This public space, managed by Vitré Communauté, suffered significant damage in May 2023 following a fire that primarily affected the roof. This incident forced managers to close the doors to the public indefinitely, making swimming sessions in the municipality impossible.
Rather than limiting itself to a simple restoration, the intermunicipal body seized the opportunity to modernize the entire building. The rehabilitation works allowed infrastructure to be adapted to current standards and improved comfort for swimmers. The goal was to offer a safer and more functional framework for residents of the community of communes.
The return of young students symbolizes the residents' attachment to this sports facility. After nearly three years of closure, seeing it reopen has caused some relief, particularly among families and teachers who use this location for teaching water activities. The resumption of regular activities will likely be progressive over the coming weeks.
Vitré Communauté confirmed that the pool is now fully operational. Timings and registration procedures for the adult public and swimming clubs have been updated to support this reopening. The facility plays a central role in the local sports offering and brings life back to the territory's dynamics.
