Everybody around the world knows that July and August is basically a national vacation in France.So for 8 weeks, we’ve got a game for you: see which one of your open-space mates is ballsy enough to leave the office at 5, rush to that newly re-opened terrasse or rooftop, sip on some rosé, rate girls’ arses and get drunk enough by sunset to be back home before midnight… just to do it all over again the next day.
Since you’ll soon be abroad surfing in Sri Lanka or drinking Spritz in Sicily for 3 weeks, we have the prog’ for what’s left of your sweet summer in Paris!
