Guy Griffin from Cafe Oberkampf and Cafe Mericourt joins the show to talk about the restaurant industry in Paris and how it\'ll cope during the lockdown... and then what\'ll come next.

He discusses his rethinking of the hospitality industry, the government\'s "ch\\xf4mage partiel" for staff members (part-time unemployment), and his plans to reopen.\\xa0

And he says the days of sitting in a Paris cafe all day with one coffee and a cake may be over...

For the facts: The government has given May 11th as the end of lockdown, but that doesn\'t apply for cafes and restaurants, many of which have already been reworking their strategies for home delivery and click and collect options.\\xa0

Oh yes, and a tromp-l\'oeil is an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create an optical illusion.\\xa0

As Guy said, a coffee on him if you can be the first to guess which character he played in my audiobook, which you can listen to every day on Patreon here. We\'re halfway through!
