Eau de Paris in 2022: even more water and ever less plastic

With the objective of making Paris the first city without single-use plastic bottles by 2024, in 2022 we will continue to develop and modernize the network of Parisian fountains, which today has no less than 1 water points. in all the city.

 Paris, I will always (and everywhere) drink your water!

To facilitate access to water everywhere and at any time, the "Here, I choose Paris water" operation, launched by Eau de Paris in September 2021, invites shops, businesses and restaurants to open their doors and to fill your water bottles or any other container with tap water on demand and free of charge. The goal? Build an initial network of 500 retail partners by April 2022.

A good resolution for the new year? In 2022, for me, for the planet, I choose Paris water!
