Get in the mood for summer with the lost floating

Get in the mood for summer with the lost floating pools of Paris! Once upon a time, the banks of the river Seine were lined with giant floating swimming pools.⛱️ In the 19th century, one could take swimming lessons next to the Pont Neuf and in the 1970s, sunbathe topless on the upper deck of the Piscine Deligny which had a restaurant and private lounges. The inventor of the life jacket opened the Seine’s first swimming school on a floating pool in 1785. Just three years earlier, free swimming in the Seine had been officially banned and over the next few centuries, floating swimming schools and private clubs began popping up instead. When the summer season rolled around, they were the place to see and be seen. By the 1990s, the historic Piscine Deligny was the last floating pool left on the Seine. It had already caught fire once, been hit by a passing boat and finally, on one fateful summer’s day in 1993, the Deligny pool sank to the bottom of the Seine in less than forty minutes for reasons still unexplained. Two hundred years of Parisian water escapades were over. We think it’s about time Paris brought back a few more floating swimming pools for summer, but the city is currently working on a major effort to make the actual river itself swimmable again in time for the 2024 Olympics. Would you swim in the Seine?
