n summer 2025, Paris will open 11 swimming sites, including three in the Seine, marking a historic return to swimming in the river!

From July 2025, Paris will welcome freshwater enthusiasts with a unique event: officially authorised swimming in the Seine and other urban waterways. This symbolic return – the first in 100 years – is part of the lasting legacy of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Eleven supervised swimming areas will be open from July 2025. These include three new sites on the Seine: Bercy (12th arrondissement) with two pools, an urban beach and views of the François Mitterrand Library; Bras Marie (4th arrondissement) at the foot of the Île Saint-Louis, in the heart of historic Paris; and Bras de Grenelle (15th arrondissement), located opposite the Parisian Statue of Liberty and ideal for families. These developments have been made possible thanks to a major clean-up plan for the Seine. In addition, well-known sites such as the Bassin de la Villette, the Canal Saint-Martin and several urban beaches also welcome swimmers. Clearly marked, free, accessible and supervised areas subject to daily health checks guarantee a safe experience. The perfect opportunity to enjoy a refreshing summer without leaving the city!
