Скачать или смотреть Les Soldes: Government-Regulated Sales?! Only in France | AP French Podcast

The French government tells stores WHEN they can have sales. Twice a year. Four weeks each. It's the law.

Jake (American) can't believe it. Marie (French) explains why — and by the end, he's kind of into it.

In this episode:
📅 When les soldes happen (January + June-July)
📉 Le système des démarques — discounts increase weekly (30% → 70%!)
🏪 Why the law protects small businesses
🇺🇸 Black Friday vs. les soldes
✊ Anti-Black Friday protests in France

~80% French / ~20% English | AP French / French 4-5
