After some initial re-adjustment re. opening hours when we moved to France, after 11 years I am quite content with it. Local supermarkets have reasonable opening hours, closing for lunch during the winter, and keep open during that time for the summer for the 'blow-ins' as the second homers and holiday makers are called hereabouts.
There's always a pharmacy open somewhere.
Banks closed on Mondays, and our local post office erratic opening times are still an enigma to me, but it is at it is.
I keep a well stocked larder and freezer and rarely feel I need to jump in the car to get anything without waiting for a while. Besides, it suits our simple financial budget.
I suppose I have adopted the french shrug when something is closed when expecting it to be open.
We recently had a new roof and the men turned up at 7am, worked until noon, returned at 2pm and continued until 7pm. Cheerful and hard working. Certainly don't begrudge their 2 hr. lunch break.
The local shops were open this Friday and Saturday. Always closed on a Sunday anyway apart from an express Super U and the bakery, which is enough, surely. As for this Monday, I haven't a clue, as I don't feel the need to rush out for anything tomorrow.
