The River Seine in Paris has reopened for public swimming for the first time since 1923, marking a significant legacy of the Paris 2024 Olympics.

The swimming ban was lifted after extensive cleaning efforts, although concerns about water quality persisted leading up to the Olympics. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
