Sat 5 JulSaturday 5 JulySat 5 Jul 2025 at 12:07pm Parisians are allowed to swim in the River Seine legally for the first time since 1923.
Three new swimming sites on the Paris riverbank are open — one close to Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral, another near the Eiffel Tower and a third in eastern Paris.
Local officials say the new sites along the banks of the Seine in the city will be able to welcome over 1,000 swimmers daily until August 31.
Woos and cries of joy echoed across the riverbanks as the first swimmers entered the emerald-green water.
Every swimmer wore a bright yellow life buoy tied around their waist, part of the strict safety measures enforced by a dozen lifeguards in high-visibility vests.
“It’s so nice to swim in the heart of the city, especially with the high temperatures we’ve been having lately,” said Amine Hocini, a 25-year-old construction worker from Paris.

Lucile Woodward, 43, a resident, said: “This is so chic, to swim in the Seine, next to Île Saint-Louis.
“There are some apprehensions, of course, any time you go to swim somewhere, but I think this is one of the most tested areas in the whole world now.
I don’t think the town hall can allow herself to have any problems. She added with a laugh: “My skin is OK".
