For traders in the city, this is the period not to be missed. At 6 a.m., the France 2 teams find a convenience store manager. The first customers arrive in less than an hour, so the shelves must be full. In summer, its attendance explodes. It receives 1,200 customers a day, compared to 30 in winter.
