Good to know
The office is located in the 5th district of Paris, quite unusual for a creative agency. Very close to the Place Monge, rue Mouffetard and the Jardin des Plantes. In a small charming courtyard... There are worse places to work!
Our coffee breaks are similar to any company's... Except that they are often an opportunity to play music at any time of the day: you play the piano, the guitar or the triangle? You'll have a seat in the band.
