SOUNDBITE: (English) Hayley Weston (on the left), 26, of Swindon, Britain, visiting Paris and Leona Barry (on the right), 27, originally from Manchester, Paris resident: • Barry: It's the fact that it's covered as well but it's not that it is covered just with a normal roof, it's a glass roof, and that's what makes it more special. I think it would be nice during the night, I think it would be nice for an evening skate • Weston: I think it is spectacular in the evening with the light shows and the colours bouncing off the walls. The music makes the atmosphere much more special. • Barry: It is more relaxed as well I think. • 12: Various of people skating • 13.
