YES! It does exist, and no, I'm not talking about drinking directly out of the Seine, although the truth might sometimes seem stranger than fiction...

Paris is riddled with underground water sources, and there's an enormous infrastructure behind the whole process that brings cool, clean, drinkable water to our taps every day.

Don't worry about people who say that the water here isn't safe to drink. I've been drinking it for 13 years and I'm still here!

Not forgetting the curvaceous Wallace fountains, offering passers-by the chance to quench their thirst and pause a moment next to one of the enduring symbols of the capital.
