[Avodah] What Do French Jews Do On Shabbath?

[Arie Folger via Avodah]

R'Martin Bluke asked on my explanation regarding the case of RYS being
stuck in an apartment in Paris, to which I said that under such
circumstances amira le'akum was a lesser issue that could be permitted:
> I can understand using this kind of heter for a one time situation where
> you are visiting somewhere and have no choice. However, should we rely on
> this kind of heter weekly for a long term period? Can/should a person live
> in a place where every week he needs to rely on a heter amira leaqum
> b'makom mitzva to go to shut and get home?

My response: indeed. And in fact, many French Jews find ways to overcome
this challegne. However, as I indicated in an earlier mail, I won't comment
on list how they do so.
