Cédric Vaivre runs the only bakery in Lusigny-sur-Barse in north-east France, which was open every day during the summer to serve tourists. But he was fined(罚款) €3000 because of this.
In fact, there are whole sets of laws that govern(管理）which type of bread can be called what, and when and how often bakeries can stay open. One such law in Aube states that bakeries must close at least one day a week—a day of rest.
There is nothing worse than closing shops when there are tourists, said Christian Branle, Lusigny-sur-Barse's mayor. "There has to be some common sense, especially in small rural places," Branle told French television. "We’re not in an area where there’s lots of competition. We should let people work when there are visitors expecting a service."
A petition(请愿书) in support of the baker has attracted more than 2,000 signatures. That's pretty impressive because Lusigny-sur-Barse only had about 2,000 residents in 2014. "We just want to open like this during the summer, not all the year," Vaivre said.
