As a French woman, I cherish my 'French Sundays.' I wouldn't change this weekend routine for anything.

The author spends her Sundays relaxing and reconnecting with friends and family. Courtesy of Virginie Romary "French Sundays" are a trend that seems to be gaining popularity in the US. Being French, they have been one of my routines throughout my life. They're a day to completely unwind and a chance to recharge before the week begins. I grew up in France , where Sundays have their own distinctive feeling. It's not just another day of the week for us — and even though I've moved to the US, it's something I've taken with me. On Sundays, most traditional shops and services are closed, with only a few exceptions in tourist areas. It's a day dedicated to slowing down and resetting. I haven't lived in France for 10 years, but I still continue to uphold the tradition of unwinding on Sundays, and I have no intention of changing it.
