For the first time in over a century, Parisians and tourists are getting ready to take a refreshing dip in the Seine. The long-polluted river is finally opening up as a summertime swim spot following a massive, expensive cleanup project that made it suitable for Olympic competitions last year.
Three new swimming sites on the Paris riverbank are set to open Saturday, including one close to Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral, another near the Eiffel Tower and a third in eastern Paris.
