The May 1st public holiday in France, recognized as the Fête du travail (Worker's Day), leads to widespread business closures. Most independent shops and supermarkets opt to close, leaving residents with limited shopping options. Only essential workers are mandated to work this day. Notably, boulangeries may open for limited hours, but many comply with regulations to avoid fines. A unique aspect of this holiday is the sale of muguet flowers which are believed to bring good luck, typically sold by charity-run stalls, allowing them to operate on this day.
May 1st, known as the Fête du travail, often sees businesses closed due to the requirement of double pay for workers, unlike other holidays.
Many independent shops and supermarkets close on May 1st, making it wise to stock up in advance for those who need food or supplies.
