“I want to go to Versailles!”
» Face painted in the colors of Australia, flag around his waist and cap with a wallaby on his head, this fan calls out to a woman with an RATP t-shirt on her back.
The fan, still tipsy from his crazy evening the day before, wants to go to the scene of the equestrian events at the Paris Olympics.
The RATP volunteer stammers a few words of English and takes out her smartphone to show him a route.
End of the game. We were only in a gymnasium at the headquarters of the French Judo Federation (XIVth), this Tuesday in Paris, and this excited supporter was only an actor speaking for the RATP.
But this fictitious scene will soon be the daily lot of thousands of Régie agents.
In exactly four months, the Paris Olympics will have started.
15 million spectators are expected from July 26 to August 11, and transporting them will be a major challenge for the success of the global event.
