People work 35 hour weeks so that makes for very weird store hours.


Monday and sunday are closed.

Stores ( this depends on the size of the store and usually applies to the smaller shops ) are closed between noon and 1.30 pm.

Stores do close around 7 pm for the smaller shops. 8 or 9 pm for larger shops, but that also depends on the day of the week ( friday and saturday are sometimes a little later like 9 pm)

From what I know, nightclubs in America close at 2 am. (And in the very very advanced progressive city of NYC, at 4 am.)

From what I know, nightclubs in France (and all of Europe for that matter) close at 6-7 am.

This depends from one city to another mostly due to local governement policies, this applies state side and France side.


You cannot generalize like that.

In the States you will commonly find last call hour restrictions set by local governing authorities, in France you will find closing times restrictions by local governing authorities as well.

Here in my local city in France everything MUST be closed at 2 am or they get a fine and can potentially get their alcohol license revoked.

Right. Canada is not as backward as the US but still far behind the rest of the world in this respect.

Trancaholic, I disagree with the "very friendly" bit.

the french can be quite friendly if you speak french. they didnt like me however since i speak quebecois..... and they regard this as a primitive dialect. i shudder to think that they think quebecois as primitive and i know they have never heard of acadian or joile lol

I wasn't trying to make an argument.

I was just saying that because I definately wouldn't survive there. I need 24 hour services from convenience stores at all times.

It must be that I am from Texas you ask such a question....
"Well yes mam, I have been to France, once in Uniform and two other times as a , how do you say.... a "Stupid American Tourist."

but if I have not, I still cannot see why a person never going to france is an issue, My question was not about France, but why france was doing what they are today. I mean if was to ask the inner core temp of the Sun, how silly would it be for someone to ask, " only if I had visited the sun, may my question be worth an answer."
