From July Ist 2013 all French shops and public buildings will have to turn off their lights at night (1am) to save energy and reduce light pollution. The Enviroment Minister, Delphine Batho says it will make France a pioneer in Europe, preventing light pollution which disrupts ecosystems and disturbs people's sleep patterns. There are some worries from Parisian shopkeepers that it will affect tourism. Can I suggest star gazing holidays come to Paris, money to be made there.
