It's About Time: Paris offers locals a place to bathe.

t's got palm trees, deck chairs, and sand -- and at long last, Paris' city centre beach is now going to offer people a place to bathe.

Mayor Bertrand Delanoe said on Thursday the fourth year of Paris Plage (Paris Beach) would include a 220-square metre swimming pool where people could cool off without plunging into the polluted River Seine.

And just in time for summer. I did not realize that Paris' beach did not include water. Good for them. Don't forget behind the ears.

Nice antifrench twist there, coulnd't say swim could ya?

No, you misunderstand. The article uses "bathe." I thinks it's a continental thing.

Maybe I did, as it's normal for antifrench banter to be here, not that I love the french.

Well...errr...good for them I suppose.

Bathing is just another word for swimming with no definition if it is about cleaning or just swimming. Neutral.

Anyway, who would like to take a bath in that water? I don't know but I guess it ain't the best.
