Sunday Controversy

Did you know that in the last couple of years, a couple of large furniture shops have been fined for illegally opening some of their shops on Sundays?

French President Nicolas Sarkosy would like to put a law in place in early 2008 permitting shops to open on Sundays.

What do the French think? Well, according to a recent survey, only 51% of French people are in favour of supermarkets and shops opening on Sundays. Les autres? They believe that Sunday should be a family day and not a day spent grocery shopping or working in a shop.

Tout n'est pas gagné. Bonne chance Sarko!
