00:28re-adapt a little bit the whole ceremony but definitely we are very confident now to be

00:35able to deliver the dream plan that Thomas has imagined.

00:41It's the first time that we have an opening ceremony into the centre of Paris with 100,000

00:47of people attending, some of them for free, and it's a great way to welcome the athletes

00:53of the world with so many people and also Parisians to be part of this unique moment

00:59for our country.

01:00So for us that was a great answer also to engage locally and widely, we want to open

01:08wide the games and we believe that doing it in the centre of Paris with 100,000 of people

01:23the people of Paris in this regard.
