Deux-Sèvres Easter Sunday 2010... any markets/shops trading?

[Robbo]

Hi all

We a travelling to Parthenay in Deux-Sèvres at Easter. Unfortunately we are travelling on Saturday so wondering if anyone knows if there are any shops/markets, within reasonable travelling distance, that may be trading on Easter Sunday morning, where we can get some provisions to last until the supermarkets open on Tuesday?

Also weekly market Sunday Morning at Thenezay. Superette also open during market hours.

Thanks for information Pachapapa I was worried we'd be basic rations for a few days.

All we need now is a spell of pleasant spring weather and everything will be pucker.[:D]

Many thanks again

Robbo, the previous poster confirmed that these places are open on Sundays, still better to find out for certain if they are open on Easter Sunday - I'll find out what I can.

Salut!

Je viens de faire un coup de fil chez Supercasino sur Parthenay. On me confirme que la boutique sera ouverte comme d'habitude le dimanche de pâques, c'est à dire le 4 d'avril et c'est pas une poisson rouge.[:D] Néanmoins je suis désolé à vous informer que l'horaire d'ouverture a été changé. En lieu de ètre de 08:30 à 12:00, il s'agit maintenant de 9:00 à 12:30. Ainsi vous pourriez faire la grosse matinée.[:D] Il faut dire que l'heure d'ouverture du Point Chaud reste à 07:30, donc en ce moment les baguettes chaudes se cherchent.

Je voudrais vous renseigner que le lundi pâques est assez tranquil mais dans plusieurs communes on peut se profiter de la chasse aux oeufs avec les enfants.

Thanks for that pachapapa, I'll be in Reffannes over that weekend so I know where to go for supplies  if my visitors empty my whisky on the Saturday night ;)
