In this week's show we take a deep dive into the #Seine, to find out how #Paris 's river is preparing for the 2024 #Olympics. We see how authorities are racing against time to boost security, curb pollution and keep visitors entertained. With just a few weeks to go before the opening ceremony, one question remains: will the Seine actually be swimmable? #environment#water

Deutschland:

-Pro Tag 45 Millionen
-Pro Jahr 16,4 Mrd
-pro Person 200 pro Jahr
