  Post Scriptum History

The photograph reveals an abandoned swimming pool in southern France, designed by architect Jean Doldourian. Marked by a series of diving boards rising up to ten meters, it was for decades a vibrant gathering place, hosting summer events and aquatic performances. Closed since the 1990s, it now stands as a striking architectural relic, where geometry and light preserve the silent memory of a once-celebrated landmark.
