Parisians took the plunge into the Seine on Saturday, enjoying public swimming in the river for the first time in over 100 years.
For the first time since 1923, the Seine River in Paris has officially reopened for public swimming, marking a major milestone in the city’s environmental restoration efforts.
Authorities have opened three designated swimming spots within the city, allowing more than 1,000 people a day to enjoy the river through 31 August.
This development comes after an ambitious and costly clean-up campaign that began ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Upgrades included connecting tens of thousands of homes to the sewage system, expanding water treatment capabilities, and building massive rainwater storage basins to prevent runoff contamination during storms. Despite some Olympic events being delayed due to water quality concerns, competitions ultimately went ahead, restoring public confidence in the Seine's safety.
