The city has allowed swimming for the first time in more than 100 years. Around 1,000 people can swim every day in three special places along the river. It is free to use these spots until the end of August.<\/p>\n<p>Paris cleaned the river with a big project that cost \u20ac1.4 billion. This work included connecting houses to the sewer, cleaning the water better, and building big tanks to hold rainwater. These changes helped stop dirty water from going into the river.<\/p>\n<p>The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, supported the project and even swam in the river before the Olympic Games. The idea also came from people who were already swimming in the river, even when it was not allowed.<\/p>\n<p>The swimming places are near famous places like the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. Families with children can enjoy the area near the Eiffel Tower. Lifeguards will be there, and people can use showers and changing rooms. The water will be tested every day to check if it is safe. A flag will show if it is okay to swim.<\/p>\n<p>More swimming places are coming outside Paris, on the Seine and Marne rivers. Two places on the Marne opened in June. The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, said he will swim in the Seine too.<\/p>\n<script>\n                            if (window.qmn_quiz_data === undefined) {\n                                    window.qmn_quiz_data = new Object();\n                            }\n                    <\/script><script>window.qmn_quiz_data[\"20\"] = {\"quiz_id\":\"20\",\"quiz_name\":\"Paris Opens the Seine River for Swimming After 100 Years\",\"disable_answer\":0,\"ajax_show_correct\":0,\"progress_bar\":\"0\",\"contact_info_location\":0,\"qpages\":{\"2\":{\"id\":\"2\",\"quizID\":\"20\",\"pagekey\":\"WHzBjgnN\",\"hide_prevbtn\":\"0\"}},\"skip_validation_time_expire\":0,\"timer_limit_val\":\"0\",\"disable_scroll_next_previous_click\":0,\"disable_scroll_on_result\":0,\"disable_first_page\":\"0\",\"enable_result_after_timer_end\":0,\"enable_quick_result_mc\":0,\"end_quiz_if_wrong\":0,\"form_disable_autofill\":0,\"disable_mathjax\":0,\"enable_quick_correct_answer_info\":0,\"quick_result_correct_answer_text\":\"Correct!
