Today is the first day of the Paris sales. There are lines even to go into certain shops. Then there are lines for the dressing rooms, and then there are also lines to pay for items. Several French people take the day off to do the sales, as if it is a sport or leisure activity. Some skip lunch and shop instead. The sales run through the summer and are held twice a year.
