Three sites will be able to welcome over 1,000 swimmers daily until August 31, local officials said, to the delight of the Parisians and visitors who were among the first to take the plunge.

Bathing sites will be located near the French capital’s Notre-Dame cathedral, the Eiffel Tower and in eastern Paris.

For the first time in over a century, Parisians and tourists are getting ready to take a refreshing dip in the Seine.
