This would never fly at home. Ever. Can you imagine telling commuters "Oops, sorry, the only major highway through Paris is now a pedestrian mall, but just until the first weekend in September, no biggie." It is something else to see all the traffic diverted, and I just haven't heard a peep, not one angry customer, no complaints. Every here just shrugs their shoulders, et viola! Beach.
All Parisians really do vacate and allez dan les pays. They travel and go places, see things, go with family, go with friends. The staff is slightly up in arms that they can only take a week, as the french are quite accustomed to taking their 3 weeks (at least) and are incredulous in their realizing they don't have more time.
