forever--French side is different than Dutch side. French side is a CURFEW, which means everyone has to be off the streets. Dutch side is "nightlife businesses" are required to be closed at 11 PM, but no curfew. I still don't know what a 'nightlife business' is.

These days, we're never out past 11 anyway. The 8 PM curfew on the French side in June was a different issue, and a much bigger problem, especially if one is staying on the Dutch side and want to eat dinner on the French side.
