What's open on Labour Day (Fête du Travail) in Paris?
1 May is a near-complete shutdown in France — even most supermarkets and bakeries close, which is unusual. Emergency pharmacies and some petrol stations stay open. In Paris, city-centre venues are most likely to deviate from national patterns — check individual branches.
