In 1966, Jean Desjoyaux, a self-employed builder, undertook the tedious task of constructing a swimming pool for his family, his three children in particular. Surprising even himself, upon completion, Jean Desjoyaux would come to realise that a swimming pool was not just concrete, coping stones and water; it was contagious happiness, a shared family spirit. Over time, it even brought friends and neighbours together, in a relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of the best holidays. And for Jean Desjoyaux, this delightful experience sealed a conviction within himself that every family should have the right to enjoy the laughter, fun and wonderful memories that a family pool brings. With that inspiration, Piscines Desjoyaux was founded.
