La Récréation is a libertine sauna and hammam in Boulogne-Billancourt, on the Avenue André Morizet and two minutes' walk from the Boulogne – Pont de Saint-Cloud métro. It sets out its audience plainly: a knowing, tolerant and open crowd, mixing bisexual, straight and gay-friendly guests in good humour and mutual respect.

The club leans on the bathhouse side of libertine — a bar, a sauna and a hammam, with the heat, the scents and the colours doing the work, and its own copy dwells on relaxation as much as on encounter. Its own photographs show a lounge and bar under blue and pink light and a steam-filled hammam.

It closes Mondays and Tuesdays. Wednesday is an afternoon, 14:00 to 20:00, and is also the club's naturist day; Thursday runs 19:00 to 23:00; Friday and Saturday run 19:00 until one in the morning; Sunday is 16:00 to 20:00. The club publishes a charter and a set of house rules of its own, and its prices sit on its own Tarifs page rather than here.
