Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the disgraced former IMF chief, did not know he was with prostitutes when he took part in orgies, a businessman has said.
David Roquet is accused of organising sex parties with prostitutes for people including the man who was once a French presidential hopeful.
However, Roquet said, Strauss-Kahn was not aware of what was going on.
In an interview with French TV station BFM ahead of his appearance in court, Roquet revealed how he discreetly paid the women after the parties and Strauss-Kahn was not aware of the situation.
"The girls who accompanied us were elegant, cultivated. It's not like being parked up in a car in the pouring rain," he said.
Roquet said he enjoyed spending "an afternoon with a man who was the second most-important person in the world and a future president of the Republic".
He added: "That was my goal, professionally. It was to organise a lunch with Mr Strauss-Kahn and heads of business."
Strauss-Kahn is the most high-profile figure in a trial of 14 people accused of "aggravated pimping" for their part in organising prostitutes for the sex parties in luxury hotel rooms.
The accused include businessmen and police officers.
Roquet was due to give evidence in court in Lille, northern France.
Friday's proceedings began with Emmanuel Riglaire, a lawyer accused of introducing a prostitute to the head of public relations of the Carlton Hotel in Lille, where several of the orgies are alleged to have taken place.
Riglaire condemned officials for bringing the case, saying it had put his family through hell.
"There is nothing but damaged people in this room," he said, apparently close to tears.
"I will never forgive those who have dragged us before this court and ensured the publicity of the case."
