If you have come this fair, then you are deffo not part of the happy few who will be spending the next few days under the Corsican sun in Calvi. Luckily, we are not going to leave you by the wayside—here is a counter offer that will make you feel much better.
At the very same moment, from the 30th of June to the 8th of July, the Philharmonie of Paris and its incredible rooftop will be welcoming the Days Off . And while most of the concerts are already booked up (MGMT, Etienne Daho, Clara Luciani) you can chill at Le Balcon, the roof-terrace transformed into a high-altitude food court for the occasion. Burgers, lobster rolls, dim sum, cocktail bar (starting at €4), as well as a pétanque game venue, babyfoot and solarium-style deck chairs. Finally, it’s pretty cool to be in Paris.
The plus ? Highly perched afters at Le Balcon with dj sets until 1 am.
Festival Days Off, June 30th to July 8th from 6:30pm until 00:30am. Exceptionally closed on the 1st and the 5st of July. More info on www.daysoff.fr
