Is the water clean at Pont Romain ( Ouveze )?
Pont Romain ( Ouveze ) is a river bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Sufficient for the 2025 season — meets the minimum EU standard in the latest annual assessment. That annual classification comes from the EU Bathing Water Directive: national authorities test for two indicator bacteria, intestinal enterococci and E. coli, throughout the bathing season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency (EEA) the following spring — the 2025 season's rating was published in spring 2026, and the 2026 season won't be rated until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. On site you'll find Toilets, Parking, and Sports facilities. You can park about ~90 m away.
Over the 8 classified seasons on record, 3 have come back Excellent or Good — a track record worth checking each year rather than assuming. The most reliable swimming window here typically runs from July–September, with the water usually at its warmest around August. Outside that window it's cooler and often quieter. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Sufficient for 3 straight years. Entrechaux — the closest town — sits about ~1.2 km from here.
Worth remembering: “Sufficient” isn't a live reading, it's an annual grade — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — set once a year from that season's water samples and describing the average, not this afternoon's conditions. For what the water is doing right now, check the “Right now” panel and 7-day outlook above. It sits in Vaucluse.

What does the water quality rating actually measure?
