Winter sales start a week earlier in several French departments.
The winter sales will officially begin on Wednesday January 8, 2025 and end on Tuesday February 4, 2025. However, in certain departments, consumers have already started shopping in advance. In Lorraine and Overseas, the dates differ.
In four departments of Lorraine (Moselle, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Meuse and Vosges), sales were able to start on Thursday January 2, 2025. The reason? Competition with Luxembourg. This border country kicks off the sales at the start of the month. The Lorraine winter sales will therefore end one week before, on Wednesday January 29, 2025, one week before mainland France.
