Internet-inspired drinks parties spread panic among authorities

French authorities are perplexed about how to respond to a wave of internet-inspired outdoor drinks parties which have begun drawing tens of thousands of young people to city centres across the country.

 

The “apéros géants” first appeared in Brittany at the end of last year, with 3000 people gathering in a public square in Nantes after an invitation circulated on Facebook.
