Cooling in Paris – After more than 100 years: Baden in which Seine allows it

Date:

If you are in the French capital Paris and need cooling, you can go swimming in the future. After more than 100 years, public swimming in the river is again allowed- a bathroom is even very close to the Eiffel tower.

On Saturday the first swimmers in Paris came to his Seine. Under the supervision of lifeguards, they went into the water and swam in a defined area, as a journalist from the AFP press office noticed. Three controlled bathing spots in the French capital are free to the public, one of them very close to the Eiffel Tower.

The water quality is constantly checked. In the case of a deterioration, the bath operation is set. The mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo was dedicated to clean his Olympic Games of 2024 in the extent that some of the games could take place in the river.

This gives Paris a different cooling place that appreciate residents and tourists in view of the increasing heat waves. The state had invested around 1.4 billion euros for cleaning, including to connect countless households with the sewerage system upstream.

Baden in the Seine was fundamentally banned in 1923 due to the increasing shipping traffic.
