00:30The preparation for the Olympics was good, it was long, but we were looking forward to
00:51having the Olympics in Paris, and the particularity is that I am a fan of the Olympic flame,
00:55so I was looking forward to the event, to see Paris changing, to see that we welcome
00:59the world, it's really very positive.
01:01I think that everything is very well organized, especially in A, the police are really very
01:08nice, because we ask if we can pass, they give us good explanations on how to go,
01:13but of course there are a lot of people, and there are a lot of things that we can't
01:17see up close, but we knew when we came here that it was the Olympics, so that's it.
01:22We didn't know it was the Olympics, because we had made a booking in Paris,
01:28we didn't think there would be the Olympics, so for us it was really a different organization,
01:33but that's it, that's how it was.
01:40I think that those who will be able to attend will be delighted, because it's a magnificent
01:45setting, it's much more prestigious than a stadium, and I think that it also opens
01:51on presentations that are very original, but unfortunately, we will see that behind
01:57our screens, it's a shame.
