The River Ourcq is a modest, meandering river in northern France, originating in the Aisne department and running through the scenic regions of Île-de-France. Throughout the warmer months, water temperatures in the Ourcq generally range between 18°C and 22°C (64°F to 72°F), though these can fluctuate depending on recent weather. While the Ourcq is popular for outdoor activities such as kayaking and fishing, swimming is limited to designated sections due to both the water quality and the preservation of local habitats. In the countryside stretches, however, the Ourcq’s clear, shallow waters often attract visitors looking to cool off on hot summer days.

In urban areas like Paris, where the Canal de l’Ourcq feeds into the Seine, swimming is more regulated, but there have been increased efforts to improve water quality and create safe swimming zones in recent years. The Canauxrama project, for example, aims to clean and monitor parts of the Ourcq and the canal network to support more recreational use, including swimming.
