PARIS - Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo doubled down on Wednesday on plans for a dip in the Seine this summer, and nudged the aquatic adventure towards pool party territory as she invited President Emmanuel Macron to dig out his swimming trunks and join her.

Hidalgo said in January that she would swim in the Seine ahead of the Olympics, and on Wednesday she said she was targetting the June 23, when the whole city will celebrate the upcoming Olympics, as a likely date.
