What many considered their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/06\/30\/fini-la-piscine-enterree-hors-de-prix-ce-bassin-en-acier-a-moins-de-1-500-e-est-la-tendance-de-lete-2026\/\">neighborhood swimming pool<\/a> this summer is closing almost entirely, and the new measures may come as a surprise. <\/p>\n<h2>Operating hours reduced to the bare minimum for the Canal Saint-Martin<\/h2>\n<p>From now on, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/07\/01\/these-10-parisian-spas-promise-a-detox-getaway-featuring-luxury-hotels-and-high-tech-treatments\/\">swimming<\/a> in the <strong>Canal Saint-Martin<\/strong> is only allowed <strong>on Sundays from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.<\/strong> This is a drastic change from previous weeks, when the canal remained open every day. Compared to last year, the change is also clear: Wednesday afternoons, which were previously on the schedule, have been removed from the calendar.  <\/p>\n<p>However, a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/2026\/06\/30\/ce-critere-de-reservation-dhotel-a-bondi-de-424-avec-la-canicule-et-ce-nest-pas-la-piscine\/\">heat wave<\/a> is expected to begin in the middle of the week following this Fourth of July weekend. It is therefore reasonable to wonder whether these time slots will be extended in the event of extreme heat, returning to the <strong>3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.<\/strong> schedule <strong>every day<\/strong> that has been so popular with swimmers in recent weeks. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cCanal Saint-Martin: It will be only on Sunday afternoons, so not every day, and not on Wednesday afternoons either\u2014unlike last year.\u201d \u2014 Enzo Morel, June 29, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>How did we get to this point?<\/h3>\n<p>It had all started out so well, though. As early as <strong>June 17<\/strong>, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/07\/01\/im-glued-to-my-fan-during-this-heat-wave-and-my-skin-is-making-me-pay-for-it\/\">heat wave<\/a> sweeping across the entire country, Emmanuel Gr\u00e9goire gave the go-ahead for swimming in the <strong>Canal Saint-Martin<\/strong> ahead of schedule. Parisians then rushed to the water\u2019s edge, delighted by this refreshing break right in the heart of the city.  <\/p>\n<p>This daily permit expired with the official return of Paris Plage on <strong>Saturday, July 4<\/strong>. The launch of the official summer season marks the transition to stricter rules for this site. The <strong>Canal Saint-Martin<\/strong> thus shifts from virtually unrestricted access to extremely limited access.  <\/p>\n<h2>What Paris Plage Offers as Concrete Alternatives<\/h2>\n<p>Good news: More swimming spots will open starting <strong>July 4<\/strong>, with hours that are even longer than last year. This means you can find an alternative that fits your schedule. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bras Marie<\/strong>: Open daily from <strong>8 a.m. to 6 p.m.<\/strong>, perfect for an early morning swim.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bercy Beach<\/strong>: Open Monday through Sunday from <strong>11 a.m. to 9 p.m.<\/strong>, perfect for evenings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grenelle<\/strong>: Opens at <strong>10 a.m.<\/strong>; closing time varies by day between 12 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, these schedules are subject to weather conditions and water quality. However, the variety of time slots means that everyone can find a time that works for them, whether they\u2019re an early riser or prefer a late-afternoon swim. <\/p>\n<h3>Grenelle, Bercy, Bras Marie: Which site should you choose based on your profile?<\/h3>\n<p>For those who want to go for a swim before heading to the office, the <strong>Marie branch<\/strong> is clearly the best choice. Since it opens at <strong>8 a.m.<\/strong>, it\u2019s the only location accessible to early risers. So it\u2019s an option worth considering if you live in central Paris.  <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, those who enjoy evenings by the water should definitely head to <strong>Bercy Beach<\/strong>. Open until <strong>9 p.m.<\/strong> seven days a week, it offers the longest hours of any of the sites. Finally, Grenelle is a good option for mornings, even though its closing times vary from day to day.  <\/p>\n<h2>Swimming in Paris This Summer: What You Need to Know<\/h2>\n<p>The reduction in operating hours on <strong>the Canal Saint-Martin<\/strong> marks a sharp break from the routine that had been established since mid-June. Many Parisians had made this spot part of their summer routine, and the shift to a single time slot on Sundays is a real setback. In just a few weeks, the <strong>Canal Saint-Martin<\/strong> had become the go-to spot for afternoons during heat waves.  <\/p>\n<p>The question that remains is whether operating hours might be extended if the intense heat returns. The Paris City Hall responded quickly in June by opening the <strong>Canal Saint-Martin<\/strong> ahead of schedule. So it\u2019s entirely possible that a similar decision could be made if temperatures rise to extreme levels in the coming weeks.  <\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the three Paris Plage locations are stepping in with extended hours. The <strong>Canal Saint-Martin<\/strong> remains open on Sundays, of course, but the banks of the Seine now offer time slots that cover almost the entire day. So even without their favorite spot during the week, Parisians still have plenty of options to beat the heat throughout the summer of 2026.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since July 4, 2026, the rules have changed for Parisians who had gotten into the habit of taking a dip in the Canal Saint-Martin after&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":231372,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2685],"tags":[8367],"quartier":[],"class_list":["post-231563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-du-luxe-en","tag-canal-saint-martin"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Canal Saint-Martin is closing its banks to swimmers on weekdays;
