There was a time when planning to go shopping on a Sunday afternoon was pure fantasy. From now on, the opening of the shops on Sunday is a reality. From independent boutiques to big retailers, more and more shops are seduced by the Sunday work formula, introduced by the Macron law in 2015. Focus on Parisian stores open on Sundays.
- Shops in tourist areas
In 2015, Zara pioneered opening on Sunday. The brand signs a trade union agreement allowing it to open its stores located in International Tourist Zones (ZTI) every Sunday of the year.
One year later, no less than sixty agreements have been concluded. From now on, the shops of several streets and tourist districts of the capital are now open seven days a week. The shops of the rue de Rivoli are open in their entirety while the district of Les Halles offers a wide range of choices question shopping (Calzedonia, Bershka, H & M ...).
Not far from there, the Avenue des Champs-Elysées and Avenue Montaigne book a shopping session of the most promising ( Nike , Sephora, Tiffany & Co, Gap, H & M, Etam, Naf Naf, Louis Vuitton ...).
On the Marais side, you are spoiled for choice. From the Place des Vosges to the rue des Francs-Bourgeois via Place de la Republique, Isabelle Marant, Sandro, Vanessa Bruno, Oysho or Cécile and Jeanne welcome you all day long. Other good deals: Boulevard Saint-Germain, Rue de Rennes, Avenue des Ternes and the Butte Montmartre.
In May 2016, BHV Marais was the first Parisian department store to open on Sunday, followed by Galeries Lafayette, which opened for the first time on January 8th. As for Printemps: the agreement will be put in place by the end of the first half of 2017 for all these stores across France.
- Shopping centers
With more than a dozen shopping centers open on Sundays, the Parisians are spoiled. Among them, the center Beaugrenelle where 80% of shops are open on the last day of the week. There is a nice range of brands: Etam, Comptoir des Cotonniers, American Vintage, Ba & sh, or H & M.
Bercy Village, the Palais des Congrès, Italy 2 and Les 4 Temps shopping center, located in the business district of La Défense, also offer a wide selection of brands such as Mango , Lacoste, Zara or Zadig and Voltaire open on Sundays.
For those living in the suburbs of Paris, no question of a cross on the afternoon shopping. To make good business while satisfying its luxury tastes, direction La Vallée Village, East of Paris. This open air shopping area offers the past collections of the biggest brands (Levi's, Jimmy Choo, Maje , Kenzo, Sandro ...) at reduced prices.
Plus the right to complain that everything is closed on Sunday!
