Heads-up: "Floating movie theater with socially distant boats coming to Paris river"

Paris river?
Sometimes New Yorkers can seem so provincial.
It's called the Bièvre, duh.

From The New York Post:
Forget drive-ins — this is a movie you can swim to.

A floating movie theater where people can watch from socially distant boats is coming to the Seine river in Paris next week.

The “Cinéma sur l’Eau” — or cinema on the water — will be held July 18 to celebrate the start of Paris Plages, an annual city-run program that creates temporary beaches in the French capital during the summer.

Film buffs will be able to enjoy the free screening from the comfort of 38 electric boats that can hold two to six people each, with social distancing practices in place to make sure those onboard are family or friends.

Parisians can enter a raffle for those seats from Tuesday through July 15....

Okay, maybe not the Bièvre.
