00:00We are here at Club France where every day thousands of people turn up, sometimes to take pictures
00:05here with French flags. It's one of the many stands here and of course you have giant screens
00:11to watch live Olympic events, to cheer for their favorite team and it's usually the French one.
00:17Just like for Guillaume who's come from Lyon with his family. Hello Guillaume,
00:21what's the atmosphere like today? Yes the atmosphere is great, there's a lot of people,
00:25families and everybody's here for having the Olympics in their...
00:32And you've got tickets for this afternoon, are you excited? What tickets do you have?
00:36Yeah we have volleyball, we miss the French team, it won't be the French team but we are
00:41very happy to go to the arena to see the volleyball this afternoon and then we'll
00:46come back to the Club France tonight because it seems it's not the same atmosphere during
00:51the day and during the night. So for the moment it's family time and tonight we hope it's going
00:55to be a fun time. And as Guillaume says it's exactly that, in the evening the medalists turn
01:01up. You've actually got a few medalists here today, notably in fencing, but tonight expect
01:07more French medalists to turn up if there is a victory during the day and it's a party on
01:15for the French supporters here at Club France.
