Seine swimming to return to heart of Paris after century of bans

After much ado and a €1.4 billion cleanup, Paris is set to bring swimming back to the River Seine.

This bold move will allow experienced swimmers to dive into a tradition that’s been off-limits for a century. RFI quizzed some punters on whether they’d be tempted to make a splash in Paris's historically polluted waterway.
