The six weeks of summer sales are coming to and end, but traders are gloomy at the prospect. The sales have not provided the boost to incomes that they hoped, especially in the clothing retail outlets. In Toulouse it is thought that security concerns have kept city centre shoppers away, though suburban boutiques are believed to have done better. Nevertheless, retail analysts conclude that an increase over last year of up to 2% is the norm, though household goods have fared better than clothing.
