Cédric Vaivre, who plies his trade as a baker in the small town of Lusigny-sur-Barse in north-central France, was found to have kept his bakery open every day during the summer of 2017 and now must pay a substantial penalty for having been overly industrious.
Local regulations in the region of Aube, where the bakery is situated, limit the number of days per week that a retail establishment can remain open to a maximum of 6 days. The laws, which date back to 1994 and 2000, do not mandate that business owners take Sunday off as a day of rest in the manner of traditional “blue laws,” but rather forbid businesses from remaining open every day.
But I understand that the intent was to make it easier for small businesses with just a few employees to compete with larger businesses with many employees.

When I studied in Germany, they had a law forbidding grocers from being open on Sundays. That made it hard to buy food if you forgot about it. But I understand that the intent was to make it easier for small businesses with just a few employees to compete with larger businesses with many employees.
"stupid socialist laws" it's number 9845756586675367.
What is with those fucking socialist countries.That's outrageous that government would tell business when to open. Oh wait, America had blue laws all over the country for 2 centuries that have only been repealed in the last 30 years. . You guys do hypocrisy so well.

Who said America isn't socialist Bob?
What part of repealed do you not understand? By your logic, since the Swiss did not allow women to vote in federal elections until 1971, the Swiss will never be able to call out any entity ever for oppressing women. And no American should condemn modern day slavery since it was legal in the USA until the 1860s

Want to point out all the places slavery exists today where people are owned as property fully legally recognized by government? Sure right.
The swiss should fully recognize thier history before speaking out about other people.
Maybe we should talk about the Italaians speaking out against gladiator sports.
