If you want to do it like the locals do it, visit Bains des Paquis. Locals love this paid venue where you can bathe in the lake on a private “beach”. Take your swimsuit, go for a refreshing swim, enjoy the scenic waterfront views of Jet d´Eau and entertain yourself: not only swimming, but you can also find hammams, saunas, massages, and tai-chi courses . It is located approximately four blocks north of Brunswick Monument.
