Hansen Marine News: 4 natural swimming pools in Île-de-France this summer, including 2 in Paris.
After playing a key role in the return of swimming in the Seine for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Hansen Marine continues its commitment in 2025 with the construction of floating structures for four new floating swimming sites in Île-de-France.
Two swimming sites in Paris
Bras Marie (Paris 4th): Located between Sully Bridge and Marie Bridge, on the secondary branch of the Seine, this swimming area will complement the Paris Plages initiative with a 75-meter-long dockside area. It will extend into the navigation channel, offering a unique experience in the heart of Paris.
Bercy Quay (Paris 12th): Between Bercy and Tolbiac Bridges, this 110-meter swimming area will provide Parisians with a pleasant and secure bathing space.
Project manager: City of Paris
Two natural swimming sites along the Marne river in the Paris region:
Joinville-le-Pont (94): The rehabilitation of the historic sandy beach will offer a new swimming area for the city. The site will be located at the Joinville Port, which will be relocated downstream.
Maisons-Alfort (94): Located on Avenue Foch, this project includes a 500 m² swimming area and 430 m² of beach pontoons. Two basins, including one with a slatted bottom and variable depth.
