00:00They're getting more and more sunburned by the second, but yeah, as you say, it's not over yet,
00:05because people here are talking about last day at Club France, but only for about three weeks,
00:10because Club France here will reopen on the 29th of August. They'll have the same, a similar program
00:15that they had during the Olympics for the two weeks of the Paralympics as well. This whole
00:22sense of Club France has been one of the runaway successes of this game, so there was so much
00:26skepticism going in as soon as the game started. That kind of switch flicked, and people were so
00:32excited, and that was helped by Club France here, where people can do activities, they can watch on
00:37big screens, and their Olympic heroes are celebrated every day, and they'll be exactly the same with
00:41the Paralympics. People have found new heroes of these Olympic games, and they'll do exactly the
00:45same with the Paralympics in a few weeks time, and there'll be more Parisians back in the capital by
00:51then, so maybe it'll be even busier in a few weeks time.
