Daily LifeSales in France

In France, there are only two legal sale periods: winter sales (Soldes d'hiver) in January/February and summer sales (Soldes d'été) in June/July. Each will last for about five weeks and bargains of over 50% can be found in abundance. There usually is a nation-wide start date, and then each department sets its own end date after the local government consults with retail leaders.
The 2008 summer sales start nationally on June 25th for just about all departments in France. For opening and closing dates see Dates des soldes d'été 2008. The site is in French but you should be able to make out the dates, just remember that it's a dd/mm/yy format.
