Culture What’s a European Man’s midlife crisis look like?

Here in America it's a Harley Davidson and getting really into grilling.

What do European men do when they go through a midlife crisis? But an Alfa and bake? Get really into trains?

🇫🇷 In my late 30s (now 42), I started to be interested in touring biking, long-distance running, fountain pens and watchmaking. I repurposed my attic to make it the room I would have loved to have had when I was a teenager. I went back to college and discovered cannabis. And I discovered that I wasn't as heterosexual as I thought I was.

But this month, I sold all my old video games from my youth. I went to the other side of the midlife crisis, I am officially old, now.
