In the case of activities that are necessary, in whole or in part, to satisfy the needs of the population on a daily basis or which are particularly evident on Sundays and public holidays, the administrative authority may, for one or more municipalities with territorial continuity, prescribe, at the request of at least two thirds of the entrepreneurs, operation on Sundays and public holidays if the derogations to the provisions of article L. 3134-3 have been granted. Authorisation may be granted at the request of at least two-thirds of the contractors concerned.
The contractors concerned and the procedure by which the required number of contractors is established are determined by regulation.
