Want to take a dip? 🏊   You can now do so in Paris, as the River Seine has been reopened to swimmers for the first time since 1923.   For 100 years, swimming was banned in the river because of the levels of water pollution that could make people ill.   But from Saturday, people can dive back in to not one but three designated areas for public swimming in the Seine - one near the Eiffel Tower, another close to Notre Dame Cathedral and a third in eastern Paris.   The reopening is viewed as a key legacy of the Paris 2024 Olympics. The Seine was specially cleaned before the games, which cost more than €1.4bn (£1.2bn; $1.6bn).    Tap the link in bbcnews’s to find out what you can expect on the sites.    (📷 Epa/Reuters)   #Paris #Seine #BBCNews
