    I haven't experience of French airports however from my travels in France, a lot of places do actually shut on Sundays, if not for the whole day, certainly half days. This would include garages, restaurants, shops, etc. Make sure you have some cash also if you're away from urban areas as you could also be caught short.

    I'm sure I once heard of an agency opening specially on a Sunday but for a surcharge. I often use Argus Car Hire for France and they have a Dublin number (01 488 0057). Maybe give them a call and see what they say?

    Bad and all as the closing on Sunday can be, believe me it is a bit better than it was years ago. It was practically impossible get petrol anywhere until some 24 hour stations taking debit cards arrived on the scene.
