Officials who sold the $6.9bn project to France’s citizens - already $2bn over budget - also promised that it would bring new housing and economic opportunities to blighted neighbourhoods, spruce up Paris, and clean up the polluted water in the Seine - making it possible to swim in the river again for the first time since the 1920s.
