The 35 hour workweek is not as simple as "only working 35 hours". It is the case for blue-collar workers (ouvriers) but things are less rigid for white-collar workers and management (cadres).
"Ouvriers" are paid by the hour and "Cadres" per day. All engineers working in IT should have a "cadre" contract, so they do not really count their hours.
Boss or staff, in the French startups with whom I did have the pleasure to work, the 35 hours are far away from the really worked hours.
