“Cohabitation with other customers? She’s going very well”
The particularity is also that the hotel has not been privatized by the Blues staff. The other hotel guests were therefore able to see the players of the XV of France, and cohabitation went very well according to Florence Bezault : « Cohabitation with other customers? It’s going very well. We have 133 rooms. Not all rooms are reserved for welcoming teams. On the other hand, our customers are informed that there will be a special presence. They were very pleasantly surprised, and enjoyed seeing the players. There was a very good atmosphere, and I think that this accessibility and these exemplary behaviors are a bit like the values conveyed by rugby. »
