Summer is coming, the warm days are gradually increasing, and all we want to do is soak up the sun by a nice body of water where we can take a dip to cool off every now and then. The Parisian pools are definitely a good choice, but they can quickly get crowded and filled with people. The Seine? That’s a possible alternative. And if not, just outside of Paris, in Neuilly-sur-Marne, a new natural swimming area will be open to the public from July 4th until August 30th, 2026.
