Only in Paris, can you swim in the Seine with a view on the Eiffel Tower for free? With a record-breaking heat in the recent weeks, it's been a challenge for Parisians to cool off. I'm here at Grenelle, one of the four bathing sites opening today to the public for the summer. I think it's a bit cool to swim in the Seine area. It's on my list of life to swim in the Seine area. And I'll be able to swim in the Seine area because I think it's really cool. It's good to be in the sun, it's fresh.

Probably not as good as the sea in Australia, but it's better than our rivers to swim in, but not as good as the sea. For the second year, visitors will be able to take a dip in the sand as part of the city's effort to make the rivers swimmable again, after decades of pollution. The sites first opened last year after a massive cleanup in the run-up to the 2024 Olympics Games. It's hard to believe that just a few years ago swimming in the sand was unthinkable to most religions.
