Summer Sale begins end of June in Paris<\/strong>
\nBetween end of\u00a0June and beginning of August.<\/strong>\u00a0look for the deals – and get there early. Within two weeks everything has been picked through. The good news is that summer vacation begins two days after the sales begin so perhaps the natives will leave and the tourists can buy everything! Doors open at 8 a.m.<\/p>\n

The commercial law (article L 310-3 du code de commerce)\u00a0 states that the summer sale officially begins the fourth week of June.<\/p>\n
