Easter in France : Tue Dec 08, 2009 11:13 pm  

Owdo

There is a whisper that Leigh are playing in Toulouse on Good Friday, and a stronger whisper that France closes for Easter.

What can we expect of Toulouse over the Easter weekend?

Ok, sorry, ignore that, will the bars and restaurants be open as usual?

Can be hit and miss with bars. if youv'e not been to France before you'd be suprised at whats closed and whats open, its certainly not like England!

Resturants can be busy with locals too.

Been quite a few times and found it hit and miss on Bank Holidays and Sundays.

A relaxing Easter weekend by the beach is fine, a weekend wandering round Toulouse looking for a restaurant and thats open (McDonalds and Paddy-O-Murphy Oirish theme pub need not apply) doesn't fill me with much interest.

Even at Canet on the coast it was not much better. Some things were open but a surprising qmount of stuff was shut for the day.

It's amazing what we count as great when you hungry enough.
We were made up to find that bar because we were so cold and wet.

Given that Canet is a holiday resort and only fully opens during the summer, please tell me why you were suprised at this!
