I tried to call and email and no response. Hopefully you have better luck. Most gyms in Paris don't have the basics for Crossfit workouts but I had luck with some Club Med gyms that have freestanding pullup bars, barbells and plenty of space for double unders and other gymnastics. Noone ever disrupted me in a MetCon and that's a big plus... Have fun. Alex, I never found the elusive CrossFit France. I tried to call and email and no response. Hopefully you have better luck.
