No. 33 Pools · French Country
Rectangular Pool Beside Limestone Raised Spa
Outside a French country house with pale blue shutters, a rectangular pool features limestone paving, manicured boxwood hedges, flowering lavender, and a raised spa with a spillover into the turquoise water.
Design notes
French country pools sit in a gravel or limestone terrace framed by clipped box and lavender. Look for pale limestone coping, a simple rectangle aligned with an allée or wall, iron loungers under a plane tree or pleached limes, and a stone pool house with shutters. Fountains and rills tie the water to the garden's axis.
What to look for
- The coping — how the deck meets the water sets the whole tone
- Where the spa sits and how it spills into the pool
- Night lighting: which features glow and which stay dark
