In the spring of 2022, Arcueil, a densely populated suburb just outside Paris’ city limits, will reopen a 0.37 mile stretch of the Bièvre, at which point its waters will also begin flowing through underground channels in Paris, meeting the Seine again . The water will be diverted to a treatment plant during rainy weather. “The fact we can do this shows we’re going in the right direction on water quality,” Lert says.
The first Parisian section of the Bièvre to reopen will be in Parc Kellerman, a public park on the southwestern edge of the city. It would take two or three six-year mayoral terms, Lert says, to uncover all the possible sections of the river—those that won’t require demolishing buildings or other infrastructure—up to where it meets the Seine.
For Parisians, the rebirth of the Bièvre also represents a chance to assuage a distinctly French cultural guilt over its destruction. “The Bièvre disappeared because of the disregard of residents,” three local historians bemoaned in published in 2002, during the last push to reopen it. “Just maybe, the new interest in the river will open a new era, in which humans will learn to live while respecting their environment.”The original version of this story misstated which political party proposed uncovering the Bièvre during the 2021 Paris election campaign. It was the Green Party, not the Socialist Party.
