A holiday since the law of October 24, 1922, November 11 has become, for many French people, an opportunity to do their shopping. So where can they go in Paris and Île-de-France this Monday?
While the November 11 ceremonies commemorate the memory of those who “died for France,” this day, which became a public holiday with the law of October 24, 1922, allows some people to spend part of their day in stores. In Paris and Île-de-France, here is the list of shopping centers and department stores open this Monday.
