Yes , Coco, that's right too !! Specially if it's weekend, then it's different everywhere Andalucia and Madrid (and all its surrounding provinces) are generally "later eaters", I just meant to say that it's not a rule that applies to the whole Spain. Here where I live most bars and restaurants close at 10'30 or 11 on weekdays. I suppose in France is just the same, there's not a general rule for all the country.

Superheterodyne: the Fifth of Ventôse already? And I forgot to buy flowers! Sigh. I'll be sleeping in les chenil tonight.
HDW: I live not far from Canada, so I've had to deal with the metric eggs. But I'll never get used to the square yolks!

It depends on the season and the locale.
In tourist areas things are usually open all the regular hours you would expect.
But - throughout France most restaurants (as opposed to cafes, brasseries etc) close between lunch and dinner (2:30 to 5:30 or 6pm). And off season many tourist sites - esp smaller ones close from 12 to 2 to give the staff time for lunch.
Also, in off-seson sights often close earlier in the day (ie 5pm versus 7pm or so in the summer).
