    Joyful Parisians take a historic plunge into the Seine after 100 years

    The return to swimming follows a 1.4 billion euro ($1.5 billion) cleanup project tied to last year’s Olympics. Officials now say the Seine meets European water quality standards on most days.

        Environmental authorities confirmed bacteria levels were well below official thresholds.

        Wonderful!

          I will not touch Ohio River waters, so I sure as hell would not get in the Seine.

              It was closed to swimming today. It rained and the sewer system overflowed. Not surprisingly that raised bacteria counts big time.
