One more time, W Paris - Opéra impressed you. Flaneurz wants to surprise you and you were happy when you left the roller party (which launched the pop-up store).

 

/ROLLER PARTY

 

At 6:30pm, the Roller Week starts with a roller dance workshop animated by Florian Gravier, Flaneurz co-founder. First steps are hesitated but later we see a lot of controlled footworks. Paulette media covers the event. Court_gette follows Florian’s choreography, amazed by her Vans Change Your Shoes Custom. Maëliss Conan, four times world freeride inline champion is at the roller party too; she is equipped with her Flaneurz Reebok Freestyle pair. Ludovic and Andréa of It’s about LA put on their Flaneurz Adidas Top Ten skates. Other people put on quad skates such as Pierre Pomonti of Folkr, LAPPOMS, Chloé the blogger of thegingerchloe, Julie Pussino, and Jon Larrucea (Skater Pro, European Freestyle Slalom Classic and Battle champion).

At 8:30pm, the eagest people passed through the prestigious hotel doors, and they go to skate rent area. We rent our Flaneurz selling skates and other vintage pairs of skates like the Americana which were famous at the “La Main Jaune” time.

Never mind with what skate pair you danced, Wednesday evening you all were strollers on the Pitcha rhythm.

You tasted the cocktails made by the W Paris - Opéra bartender and you were seduced by its covered terrace.

At 9:30pm, you attended to the roller dance show, animated by Florian Gravier and Najete Kada, SkateXpress roller dance crew members. When it was time to leave, some of you hindered the time when they had to take off their skates.
