No. 81 Pools · French Country
Rectangular Pool Flanked by Stone Pavilion
A rectangular swimming pool is paved in pale limestone, flanked by purple lavender beds, wooden loungers, and an open pavilion with a covered patio, slate roof, and soft blue shutters.
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
