Congratulations to Parisians for this huge achievement. Props to the scientists and regulators who helped deliver clean water. We all need little boosts of hope like this in these times.

Wow. Imagine our rivers - especially through major cities - being 'polluted'. Trump just cancelled all environmental protections with his 'big beautiful bill'.... right as floods hit his big beautiful Texas - the state that also doesn't believe in environment protections. Trump, meet your Texas.

We will all remember like Melissa Bell has saved the Olympics in Paris thru her heroic jump into the Seine. But I would suggest, that CNN will put M. Bell rather into a tub with ice cubes, reporting about the heat waves in Paris. Or you get questions ask about CNN as an employer.

I can't believe that it only cost 1.4b euros to clean it and they waited this long. You could have had a clean river for the cost of a couple of military jets. Come on people!

Of course it is. People swim in rivers all the time.

in rural areas, not in a big city with an ancient plumbing system. I wouldn't go swimming in the Hudson River or the East River for example

“Things poking them while they were swimming”? That sounds like a nervous Nelly, telling another nervous person etc… until we get to “There’s Eels thicker than your thigh in the Seine”.
