Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo plans to swim in the Seine in mid-July, with the exact date fixed for a day between 15 July and 17 June depending on the weather, she informed the French news agency AFP on Wednesday.
Originally, the swim was planned for 23 June, a month ahead of the Paris Olympics, but had to be postponed because of powerful currents provoked by heavy rain. It was further postponed by the start of campaigning for snap parliamentary elections nearly two weeks ago.
