oh france. secular country really. lots of churches (mainly tourist attractions)
but you have to hand it to them... if god said that sunday is a day of rest then dammit sunday is a day of rest.
there is nothing open on sunday. when at 1pm, in the us, stores are packed with shoppers buying clothes, food, or going to restaurant... here the streets are deserted. maybe a couple cars here and there... some random people walking... even the boulanger is closed (though possibly it was open at 10 this morning not sure).
and, saturday, more than half of the things are closed by 6 pm. only the bars are open because quel horreur if you have to work in the mall on a saturday night! ;)
the soldes (sales) end this week. which means there will be nothing on sale in france for another 6 months. maybe i should take a peek into the galleries lafayette or au printemps before it all ends, just to see what the scoop is (though so far it doesnt compare to san marcos)
sun is out today, little to no wind, a beautiful day in paris.
