Paris Business Pulse
- Culture Values work-life balance and high-quality debate. Business lunches can be longer than in NYC or London.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Never call between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM; this "sacred" lunch window is for refueling and relationship building. Tuesday and Thursday mornings are typically the most productive for reaching senior management. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
Yokohama Business Pulse
- Culture Professional, industrial, and closely linked to Tokyo. Values long-term corporate stability.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. As Japan's largest port, business is practical and trade-oriented. Standard Japanese etiquette (punctuality, politeness, formal protocol) is strictly followed. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs.
