    Seriously, either everyone needs to read the article linked or Jez needs to make the story a little more clear. This has nothing to do with elitism and everything to do with the fact that stores in France are closed by law on Sunday. Sarkozy had to call a few stores and ask them to open for the Obama's in VIOLATION of French law.

    I love Michell and I have a feeling she (and the Obama's) are being used as a scapegoat for Sarkozy to introduce a new law.

    I would like to think that the Obama's would have found something else to do on a Sunday if they knew all the stores were closed.

    The Obamas were well to-do before he became President? I mean they wouldn't have opened the store for them, but I'm sure if they were in Paris on a visit, she would have gone to Hermes.


    Sidenote: Ahhh that was my biggest culture shock when I was in Paris. NOTHING IS OPEN ON SUNDAYS, and some people (and grocery stores) enjoy extending that to Mondays. Oh and when there's a greve, everything is closed in solidarity. Including TV.

    it has nothing to do with religion. The USA is the most religious western country. Europe is a lot more secular.

    @VioletBlue: I arrived for my semester abroad on a Saturday, the next day I woke up with a hankering for, um, food and there were no grocery stores open. I did find a bakery after a good little walk. The good thing about greves (strikes) is that they give you advance warning so you know to plan ahead and be sure you have your food in case the stores are shut. Oh and @Maritsa: I used to live in Texas and I remember once my mom tried to buy a 6 pack of beer at HEB on a Sunday and the checker looked at my mom like she was an alchy.
    @nyc-caribbean-ragazza:
    Well, something being closed on Sunday in an historically Catholic country does at its root have to do with religion. It has evolved into something else (the French desire to reject the Anglo-Saxon over-work week), but it began because Sundays are supposed to be a day of worship.

    @nyc-caribbean-ragazza: I disagree that it has "nothing" to do with religion. Yes Europe is more secular, but the Sunday thing is at least partly a holdover from more religious times. Obviously they could have abolished it if they wanted to - and I don't think it's religious anymore - but let's not act like it has no connection to religion. I mean, it's Sunday, the Christian Sabbath - it's not like they say "Hey, it's Tuesday, let's close up shop!"

    @RedLineRage: but there are a number of stores open on Sunday. I lived in the 6th, and you could find all kinds of places -- bookstores, fruit and vegetable markets, certainly bakeries and restos.


    What isn't open are boutiques and department stores. If the Obamas had wanted to stroll around, and do a little shopping, they could have. Unfortunately, presidential families can't just take their time and windowshop.

    I'm sure Sarkozy isn't just intorducing this law because of the Obama experience.


    Personally, mandatory non-shopping Sundays appeal to me - no one needs to work more than they already do.

    France's Communist Party issued this statement regarding the Obamas: We don't want to talk to you no more, you J Crew wearing animal food trough wiper. We fart in a generally western direction. Your mother was a Muslin and your father smelt of elderberries. You don't frighten us, American pig dogs. Go and boil your buff arms, you children of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called 'Obama King,' you and all your silly American Dem-O-Craps!
