How do you make the City of Light really sparkle?
Add fancy new sparkling water drinking fountains!
According to a report in the Telegraph, Paris is upgrading the city's drinking fountains with new models that provide fizzy water for free.
While the fountains may seem "superfluous," the idea behind the new fountains is an eco-friendly one: The goal is to try and further reduce waste from plastic bottles.
The fountains have been tested in various locations around the city since 2010 with positive results. Now, the fountains will be more widespread with one in each of the city's 20 arrondissements.
