The 2022 summer sales will soon invade store shelves and e-tailer catalogs.
Online and in stores, many brands will offer low prices on hundreds of items.
Decided at national level, the start date of the summer sales is set for the last Wednesday of June if it occurs before the 28th. Otherwise, it is the previous Wednesday that launches the event.
This year, you will therefore be able to take advantage of exceptional promotions everywhere in France from Wednesday 22 June.
For four weeks, until Tuesday July 19, get the products of your favorite brands at a lower cost.
You can even sometimes obtain prices so low that they correspond to a sale at a loss for the merchant: a practice prohibited outside of sales.
Attention,
several departments have arranged sales start dates due to their particular situation.
The Pyrénées-Orientales will thus celebrate the summer sales from Wednesday July 6 to Tuesday August 2.
Corsica will be able to offer limited-time promotions between Wednesday July 13 and Tuesday August 9.
The calendars also differ overseas.
The summer sales will therefore take place from July 20 to August 9 in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, from September 3 to 30 in Reunion, from September 24 to October 21 in Guadeloupe, from October 6 to November 2 in Guyana and in Martinique, and from October 8 to November 4 in Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy.

Store vs Internet: What are the differences during the sales?
During the summer sales, many consumers choose to shop online rather than in stores.
This allows them in particular to avoid the crowd present in the store, especially when new markdowns are announced by the most popular brands.
If you are worried about buying clothes or furniture without having had the opportunity to try them on or see them in the showroom, know that most online merchants offer free return services.
You will therefore be free to discover the contents of your order at home and return it free of charge if you are not satisfied with it.
Emma offers you to test your bedding for 100 nights, while La Redoute+ can send delivery people directly to your home to pick up a bulky purchase that you want to return.
Unlike physical stores, online stores allow you to compare thousands of items at a glance.
Easily view the pros and cons of different models.
Do you need a helping hand?
If you can't find an answer to your question in the FAQs, you may sometimes be able to seek advice through the live chat systems offered by some e-tailers.
You will also be free to consult the ratings and reviews left by other users.
Don't be limited by the exhibition space in the store and browse catalogs including hundreds of references, such as those of Cdiscount, ManoMano, La Fnac, or La Redoute.
In addition to being able to compare various items with each other, you can also view all the offers available in a few clicks.
No need to go to several stores to find out their prices.
Find out the prices charged by each e-tailer from the first day of the start of the 2022 summer sales. Be careful, however, to avoid competition between physical and dematerialized brands, promotions can only be unveiled from 8 a.m.
