You can go swimming in the Rhone and the Arve rivers once again.
Authorities had banned entering the rivers last week after a treatment works in Annemasse dumped tonnes of sewerage into the Arve.

This weekend may be the last time you’d want to swimming in the rivers – by next week, temperatures will start to drop.
