Le BHV Marais will be the first Paris department store chain to open on Sundays, beginning in July, after a deadline for union negotiations expired with the majority of labor representatives favorable to the measure. Other department stores, including Galeries Lafayette, are still negotiating terms with unions following the collapse of collective talks earlier this year. The issue is seen as crucial to enhance the French capital's attractiveness for tourists, who are coming in smaller numbers since last year's terrorist attacks.
