In an article in Le Journal du Dimanche they said: 鈥淢any 麻豆传媒映画 want this鈥�, adding that London, Rome and Madrid have all understood the necessity of allowing Sunday opening [Berlin, however, retains a strictly traditional approach].

They said it attracts tourists and boosts business.

鈥淭he time has come for us to catch up and offer comparable services,鈥� they said. This would also 鈥渞evitalise city centres鈥�, the MPs said.

The group said that reforms Mr Macron instigated as finance minister in 2015 which allowed Sunday and late-night opening in 鈥渋nternational tourist zones鈥� had been a success but the time had come to go further so traditional businesses could compete against internet retailers.
