Do regular Sunday markets in France operate as usual on Easter Sunday?
We arrive at a gite on Saturday evening, and the next day is Easter. Do regular Sunday markets operate on holidays?
I've googled, and I've seen information from people who insist you wouldn't notice any difference with it being Easter. I've also read accounts that swear everything is closed up tight until the following Tuesday.
We'll be in Normandy. Which description is closer to the truth? Especially when it comes to market days?

That's reassuring; thanks. I so appreciate your responses.
I'm sorry to sound so fretful, but this week in Normandy will include extended family, some of whom have never been to France before. I want things to go smoothly and enjoyably ... and I do worry about keeping everyone well-fed.
It looks like there's a Sunday market at Port-en-Bessin, not far from our gite. I look forward to Easter....
