I liked the first contrasting paragraph!
Methinks most French people will be in favour of the new law. The rising cost of food is becoming a real problem and the competition between supermarket chains helps to keep prices in check. Try going to a supermarket that's the only one in town. I don't buy the argument that the character of France will change. They have been saying that for years to keep monopolies in place. A good business always adapts to a new situation to survive.

I'm surprised Logan, is there a reason why France would not follow the UKs example and gradually lose its smaller shops, stores and artisan suppliers ?
Perhaps you support a cosy world of the nineteen thirties Russethouse? Today is a new world, not a brave one, just different. You may not like it but if you are in business you operate according to the market. Unless you prefer France as a giant theme park living from subsidy and state benevolence?
If a business is uneconomical it has two choices. Adapt and change, find a niche market or fold.

It was an observation, not a platform, however the evidence of my own eyes suggests that town centres change due to the development of out of town hypermarkets etc, whether or not this is a desirable thing is another matter...
