Mayor of Paris takes the plunge nine days before Olympics start

In this week’s edition of Destination Paris, we focus on Anne Hidalgo taking a dip in the Seine in order to prove its cleanliness ahead of the Games. Wearing a wetsuit and goggles, the mayor of Paris plunged into the river near City Hall. She was joined by Paris 2024 chief Tony Estanguet and the top government official for the Paris region, Marc Guillaume, along with swimmers from local clubs.
