Fantastic Winter Sales End 16 Feb

Today marks the start of six weeks of winter sales (or “Soldes”) in France.  

Sales in France are like those in no other country as they only run twice a year and are strictly regulated. Impromptu sales outside of the officially designated dates are forbidden by law here so these sales are a genuine opportunity to find real bargain deals on everything from clothing to electronics.

Shopping from a campervan will give you heaps of extra space to stow your purchases. You can also park near the shops and collapse into your cosy campervan at the end of a hard day of bargain hunting.

Head for France between now and 16th February* to take advantage of these strictly controlled, and therefore very genuine, winter sales.

(* Sales end 12th February in the departments of Meurthe-et-Moselle, Meuse, Moselle and Vosges in eastern France.)

Summer savings

And for those planning a summer trip, the official summer sales start 22nd June and finish on 2nd August (except in the Pyrénées-Orientales and Alps-Maritime departments where the sales start on 6th July and finish on 16th August).
