“Everything ends this way in France – everything. Weddings, christenings, duels, burials, swindlings, diplomatic affairs – everything is a pretext for a good dinner”
Jean Anouilh, Cecile
Everyday Life
In France, work may bring food to the table, but living life to the fullest always comes first. Just like Italy, the country is known for its many small daily joys, such as food, wine, and spending time with friends and family. Conversation is often long and full of lively debate and discussion, and the French are not afraid to express their opinions, however critical they may be.

What do French people wear everyday?
French women generally dress more formally than their American counterparts, though less extravagantly for evening events. The focus of their clothing is on looking elegant and classic, rather than overtly sexy. French women prefer to give off the impression that they did not take too much time to get ready, avoiding overly done hair, makeup, and nail art.
French men similarly select more subtle clothing, often featuring neutral colours like black, white, grey, brown, and navy. The overall look is one of timelessness and simplicity, without any need to follow the latest trends.
