Well, it's true lunch break is more important in France than in most countries (I'm French living in Netherlands) but saying that no one would pick up a call is slightly overstated. Probably true before cellphone existed though

That's the way it should be done for a lunch break. The French know how to live.😁😃

I actually experienced this when I went to France. Yes, and they also drink wine or beer at noon! The USA might fire you for doing that on your lunch break!

In Canada some places they get only 30 minutes or maximum one hour. I have seen some people eating while walking. What a difference from France.

It's better for health to have the main meal early in the day rather than the evening.

The French eat cheese, pastries, meat and other wonderful foods that Americans deem fattening. For the most part they are thin and in shape. Their way of life speaks for itself.
