The Paris Seine swimming season, which concluded on August 29th, attracted 120,000 swimmers, a 20% increase from the previous year. Despite a premature closure due to heavy rain and elevated bacterial levels, the Seine was the most popular of the city's designated swimming areas.
“The Seine did the best, 120,000 swimmers, up 20% from last year, split across three spots, Bras Marie, Quai de Bercy, and Grenelle.”
“But it closed a day early on Saturday, August 29th, because heavy rain washed runoff into the river and drove up bacterial level.”
“The canals added 63,000 visits, and the sports center pools, another 33,000.”
