daily meals
French people usually have three meals during the day :
le petit-déjeuner
the 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.
le déjeuner
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
the dinner. This is the main meal in most french households.
