All the big supermarkets (Carrefour, Auchan, Intermarché, Champion etc) will be closed on Christmas day and New Year’s Day but open as usual at all other times.

During the weekends approaching Christmas, many shops will open later and on Sundays. Smaller shops will be open at the discretion of the owner but closed on Christmas day and New Year’s Day, apart from bakeries and local corner shops which may well open in the morning.
