What are the different meals in France?
French people usually have 3 meals during the day:
Le petit-déjeuner[edit | edit source]
Breakfast
Taken between 7am and 9am, very often consists in only sweet food such as croissants, baguette with fruit jam, chocolate spread or butter, a glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee or a chocolate milk.
Questions to French people in the street about what they eat for breakfast (be careful, the video speaks a bit fast. It is therefore intended for an advanced level in French)
Le déjeuner / le repas du(de) midi[edit | edit source]
Lunch
Taken around noon.
Unlike many other european countries, french people are still attached to the tradition of eating a real meal for lunch, not just a sandwich, although with days being every year more stressful, the trend of "déjeuner sur le pouce" (sandwiches or small portions to take away) is growing.
Le dîner[edit | edit source]
Dinner
Taken between 7PM and 9PM
This is the main meal in most french households.
