Question

Are the hypermarkets near Calais/channel tunnel open on a Sunday?

Answer 1

The law here in France says all shops must be closed one day at least once a week. So most shops will be closed on Sunday. Only busy area in central Paris will you find supermarkets or grocery shops opened on a Sunday. Some area in Les Alpes, only supermarkets ( only half day is allowed ) and boulangeries ( bakery ) are allowed to open on a Sunday. As for hypermarchés, due to their massive sizes, if opened on a Sunday, it will cost a lot to run such as pay the staffs etc, are usually closed on Sunday. There is a normal size supermarket called Monoprix opened on Sunday in Calais centre though.

Answer 2

yes, but they know the majority of their customers are from the UK so prices are higher than in other supermarkets at other times
