On Thursday evening, young professionals gather in Place du Luxembourg for the usual ritual. They stand outside the bars with plastic cups in their hands, talking loudly over muffled bass spilling from the surrounding bars.

Easier, perhaps, than securing a permanent position in the EU institutions where many of them first arrived as trainees.
