There's far more open on Sundays than just museum gift shops...
Shops in Vieux-Lyon, one of Lyon's main tourist attractions, are authorised to remain open every day of the week, all year round.
In addition, since 2016, changes in French law mean that shops are allowed to open on twelve Sundays per year, which are chosen by the municipal authority.
In 2020,
- The 24th and the 31st of January 2021, for Winter sales.
- The 27th of June 2021, for Summer sales.
- The 28th of November, the 5th, 12th and 19th of December 2021 for the festive season.
The Village Outlet is open all the Sundays of January 2021, and the 4th of April, the 16th of May, the 27th of June, the 4th of July, the 5th of September, the 3rd and the 31st of October, the 28th of November and the 5th, the 12th and the 19th of December 2021.
Isabelle, our editor born and bred in Lyon! She was born in Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon in fact, studied in Lyon and now lives here. Territorial? Absolutely not! She loves travelling, widening her horizons, meeting new people and enjoys a change of scenery (without snow, if possible). Isabelle is curious and a people person, two attributes that often go hand in hand! Her favourite colour is green and her motto "a day without laughter is a day wasted!"
