Black Friday in France: 7 deals to save you money
Save money on everything from French chocolates to holidays in France with these Black Friday deals
Black Friday takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November and long regarded as the beginning of America’s Christmas shopping season. It may have originated in the United States but the huge retail event has now spread around the world with retailers offering big discounts on everything from home appliances to holidays, and has since expanded to include Cyber Monday which is dedicated to online discounts. Black Friday, happening this year on Friday 29th November, began in France seven years ago and while it took a while to catch on, French consumers have since embraced the American tradition. French shoppers are expected to spend €5.9 billion between 29th November and 1st December 2019 according to American multinational coupon site RetailMeNot, a 4.1% increase compared to 2018. Here are 7 deals that will save you money this Black Friday.
