Beginning July 5, three swimming sites in the Seine River will open in Paris for the first time in over a century. This initiative, part of the legacy of the 2024 Olympics, aims to enhance quality of life and adapt to climate change. Parisians and visitors can enjoy free swimming at designated areas. The city hall emphasized the significance of restoring swimming in the Seine, previously banned due to pollution, with daily monitoring to ensure water cleanliness as a priority.
"Making the Seine swimmable is first and foremost a response to the objective of adapting to climate change, but also of quality of life," she added.
"This summer, Parisians and tourists will rediscover the joys of swimming in the Seine, a hundred years after it was banned," city hall said in a statement.
