Why French stores are closed on Sundays

There is no allusion, Europeans are very liberal, they think that weekends should be rested, and business is no exception, and when the law is passed, it is implemented. European stores are closed on Sundays or holidays, which is for human reasons, and it is different from other countries, so just pay attention.

A lot of people have asked that.

If you think about it, there are some differences, but you can still adapt. No matter in **, the adaptability of the Chinese is very strong.

However, in the first week in France, our new international students had a little "foreign appearance". And it's still fresh in our minds.

We stayed in a small city in the north of France.

According to the regulations, we usually eat in the French school cafeteria. On Sundays, they cook their own meals.

In China, everyone is used to go shopping on Saturdays and Sundays and go to the supermarket to buy groceries.

So, we take it for granted that the same is true in France.

So, at noon on Sunday, our group happily went to the nearby supermarket to shop and prepare to cook. Unexpectedly, the supermarket let us eat a closed door. Not only that, but the streets were empty, and almost all the shops were closed.

That's when we noticed the opening hours of each store. They are closed on Sundays, and some shops are closed on Saturdays.

On that day, everyone could only eat some snacks brought from China to satisfy their hunger, and only to hear everyone's stomach growling. For us, this is a lesson.

Therefore, in the future, when everyone buys things in the store, they will pay attention to the business hours. Of course, later in our city, I also found a store that was open on Sundays, but it was more expensive.

Now, let me sum it up.

Generally speaking, most supermarkets, shops and malls in France have a tradition of closing on Saturdays and Sundays, but there are also some small shops or supermarkets that are open on Saturdays. There are very few supermarkets in French cities that are open 24 hours a day like in China. Moreover, each store has its own opening and closing times, which are not the same.

Of course, in some big cities like Paris, there are also shops open on Sundays because of the large number of tourists.

It is said that there is a legal provision, and it is also based on the consideration of "humanity".

So, want to know the French? Let's experience different cultures and mindsets together.

That's what he thinks: everyone has the right to rest, and so do the employees in the store. Sunday is the time to rent a personal rest, reunite with the family, and get up to go out to play.

It's a moment of leisure that can't be taken away. Since it's a Sunday, it's time for everyone to have a holiday together, and there's no reason to let the people in the store work.

Oh, the unique French-style humanized thinking is touching.

In my opinion, the French are a people who have an emancipated personality and enjoy freedom. Their yearning for human rights and freedom is beyond our reach.

In today's money-conscious society, being able to enjoy life freely is a rare choice.

Then, if you travel or study abroad in France, remember to pay attention to the opening time of the supermarket, but don't go "hungry" on Sunday!
