I was in France for my personal holiday but, during the games, I was working for CBC/Radio-Canada. If you look at all the newspapers, you will see very clearly that there was no hotel room in Paris at a more attractive price than that. It was the official hotel for the games, I was there with the other delegates and I took advantage of all the services, for example the bus, to go to the opening, because there were security problems, in particular.
