Water Temperature in Saint-Lô: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Saint-Lô, located in the Normandy region of France, sits on the banks of the Vire River, which flows through the city. The Vire River, like many rivers in the region, has water temperatures that fluctuate with the seasons. In the colder months, from November through February, the river's water temperature tends to be quite low, averaging around 5°C to 7°C (41°F to 45°F), which makes swimming uncomfortable and unsafe. As the temperatures rise in the spring and summer, the river warms up to around 14°C to 18°C (57°F to 64°F). These temperatures are more tolerable for some water activities, but the river’s relatively fast current and occasional pollution make swimming a less common and less recommended activity.

For recreational swimming, locals tend to prefer swimming pools or designated swimming areas where water quality is more controlled. The Vire River itself, although scenic, is not widely used for swimming due to the fast-moving water, occasional debris, and limited water clarity. Kayaking, canoeing, and fishing are popular activities on the river, and many people enjoy the views along the riverbanks for walking, cycling, or relaxing in nature.
