00:00Club France has been one of the places to party at the Paris Olympics, and the Olympic
00:06houses of other countries are no less hopping.
00:13The Dutch house next door to Club France puts on a sell-out show every night, with DJs and
00:19medal winners giving the rock star treatment.
00:23It's been one of the busiest international houses since the Games began.
00:26We saw Australian people in here, Belgian people, Brazilian people, I don't know where
00:32these guys are from, but everybody comes here to celebrate the party with us.
00:37Also busy, the Indian pavilion.
00:39Though India has won only three bronze medals to date, the shows of Bollywood stars are
00:43a sell-out, leaving many outside disappointed.
00:46We couldn't find any tickets, we were willing to pay 100 euros, but still, none.
00:53Over at the house of Brazil, it's high tension.
01:00Brazil's women's football team has just made it to the gold medal match.
01:04That's why I came here, because I knew all the Brazilians were going to be here.
01:09It's a people's party, very different to the exclusive celebrations at House USA in the
01:14centre of Paris, where a ticket will set you back 390 euros to rub shoulders with celebrities
01:19such as Lebron James or Snoop Dogg.
01:23The house of Belgium near the Champs-Élysées costs just one tenth of that.
01:30We're all in red, as proud Belgians.
01:33It's great to be here.
01:35No medals on Tuesday for Belgium's equestrian riders, but they get an ovation all the same.
01:42Now we're going to drink some beers, eat some fries and enjoy being with all our fans here.
01:48There are just four days left to make the most of all the foreign fan houses at the
01:52Paris Olympics.
