Paris Reopens River Seine for Public Swimming After 100 Years
For the first time in over a century, Paris has reopened the River Seine for public swimming. Closed since 1923 due to pollution concerns, the river has undergone extensive cleanup efforts ahead of the 2024 Olympics. Designated swimming areas are now open to the public, marking a major milestone in the city's environmental and urban renewal initiatives, while also offering a unique recreational experience in the heart of Paris.
