Caseo

Caséo is an aquatic and wellness complex in Louviers, a small town in the Eure department of Normandy, about 30 km from Rouen. Open since 2014, it brings together a swimming area, a fitness section and a wellness zone under one roof — an unusually complete setup for a town of this size, which makes Caséo the main leisure destination in the Seine-Eure area for families and anyone looking to combine sport with relaxation.

What is there to see and do at Caséo?

The complex is organized into three sections. The aquatic area includes indoor and outdoor pools, a paddling pool for young children, a water slide and a pentagliss, a multi-lane family slide. The fitness section has a cardio room and group classes — aquagym, aquabike, yoga and RPM are all on the schedule, run both in and out of the water. The wellness section offers a sauna, a hammam and dedicated relaxation areas, used separately from the sports facilities. This layout means a single visit can combine swimming, a workout and downtime without having to travel between separate venues.

During summer, the outdoor pool section opens, which noticeably increases capacity on warm days and shortens the queue for the slides. For families with children, the birthday packages are worth knowing about — Caséo runs poolside birthday parties with entertainment included.

How do you get to Caséo in Louviers?

Louviers sits directly off the A13 motorway linking Paris to Rouen and the Normandy coast, so arriving by car is the easiest option — the town has its own motorway exit. The complex is run by the Seine-Eure urban community and sits in the town centre, within walking distance of Louviers train station, which is served by trains from Rouen and Évreux. On-site parking is available.

When is the best time to visit?

Opening hours vary by section (the main pool, the leisure pool, the outdoor area) and by season — during school holidays, Caséo typically extends its hours. The ticket office closes an hour before the facility does, and pool evacuation begins half an hour before closing, which is worth factoring in if you're planning a late visit. Weekday mornings tend to be quietest, while weekend afternoons and school holidays bring the largest crowds of families.

How much does it cost to get in?

The standard entry fee for visitors aged 16 and over is around €5.95 per visit, while children aged 3–15 pay around €4.85, or less with a 10-visit pass. Louviers residents get preferential rates, lower than those for visitors from outside the town. An "all inclusive" package is also available, giving one-time access to all three sections — pool, fitness and wellness — for around €25.
