## Caption

The Seine River, once too polluted and dangerous to swim in, is open to the public again after a historic cleanup effort. Swimming had been banned in the river since 1923, but decades of work and over $1.6 billion in investment have transformed it.⁣
⁣
Swimming is allowed throughout August, but city officials and residents hope this is just the beginning of a new chapter for the Seine.⁣
