Hi,

Off to Des 4 Vents in 12 days....can't wait.

Am I right in thinking 15th August is a holiday in France and if so  will any shops/hypermarkets be open.

Thanks

Lorna

Oui

Public holiday, most things will be shut in small towns, holiday places will be fine and there should be lots of fireworks during the night, oh and I forgot to mention the place will be crawling with french people! Oh never mind!

I have been to the South of France for 2 of the last 3 years at this time and it has been good, except for the fact that there as so many bloody French people around!

I agree Chrissie,

Lorna, I think some of the supermarkets may open for a half day on the 15th (in tourist areas anyway), if they do they will advertise this in the supermarkets.

If you are anywhere near a beach on 15th, go and see the fireworks, its a great social occasion.

Thanks everyone,

What I was concerned about was that because 15th is on a Tuesday then shops may be closed sun, mon and tue...we will arrive on Sunday 13th and need to be able to get some groceries when we get there. Will Val d'europe or shops at Tournan be open on mon/tues?

8 days and counting!!!!

Lorna

Thanks everyone.

6 days......and counting.
