However, here in France, it's fantastic. Yes, it is frustrating if you're cooking a big meal on Sunday & realised you're out of a certain product/ingredient, but you get used to the shops being shut on a Sunday afternoon so get to them before noon on Sunday, and be organised. Now, Sundays are a blissful family day & we have quality time with each other. If I find I've run out of something I really need it Sunday evening, I just ask my great neighbours, who can normally help me out. Vive la France & vivre les dimanches tranquilles!

Makes you appreciate them when they open again! Agree, agree, it’s bliss actually seeing shops close. Makes you appreciate them when they open again!
