    Women don’t each that much never in France. I was astonished when I started being closer to my friends. I’m married to a Belgian and we live almost half the year in Cannes. They are always in a severe diet almost anorexia. I was flabbergasted, wouldn’t expect that. The men eat well thou. And both are nice people too.

    Ok I’m French and these are super cliché! No one dunks their baguette or bread in coffee anymore apart from the older generation in their 70s. If you work ain’t no time for a three course meal, this is for Sundays when you’ll start with a salad of carottes rapées or concombre. Also no one I know drinks so much wine, maybe during the weekends but personally I don’t drink alcohol

You would have difficulty finding that in the south where Mediterranean cuisine prevails, such as lemony fennel salad and tomatoes with grilled fish.

    I'm French. Although indeed not everybody would eat these meals on a regular basis and although yes, this breakfast is closer to that of older generations, I think you did a really good job at portraying the French diet. Bread with butter and coffee in the morning, a 3-course lunch with salad, main and dessert, and a lighter dinner. I would add the 4pm sweet snack that we call "goûter" and it would be perfect. Traditionally and historically, what is portrayed in this video is quite true: my parents and grandparents do eat like this 😊

    This is more what a French would eat on vacation. I don't think a lot of people would eat a 3 course meal everyday, though that's what you would eat at a restaurant or for family dinners. Those are occasional. The sweet breakfast is accurate, although I would never dunk bread into my beverage, but I know a lot of people do it. As for the ligther meal in the evening, it depends of your lifestyle, whether your work allows you to eat a full meal at lunch or not.

    ​@@raraavis7782 We have warm meals for lunch and dinner. I've never had one smaller than the other '-'. That said, the salad is usually fairly smaller. 3 course meals is what we do in my family, for both lunch and dinner. And since many people have a cantine at their work place, it's pretty common for them to also have a 3 course meal there. You eat with your colleagues, and you can often have an hour/1h30 lunch break to eat with them. That said, we also tend to walk much mire than the average american, and we simply don't snack, outside of a small thing at 4pm, though it's traditionnaly for kids. And a fruit can be the dessert, or a small yoghurt (we sell them by portions of 125 grams).

I grew up speaking broken Cajun French ((the French language spoken in the 1700's)) so I have been trying to learn more about France and the culture and it is wildly different from Cajun culture. We adopted and meshed with the Creoloes from this area and our accents are veryyyyy different even when speaking in Cajun French. Our styles, foods..etc. is also just so different. I plan on becoming fluent in modern French soon, because sadly our 1700's style version of French is a dying language here. I would love to learn enough to blend into France one day, since it is where my ancestors were born and walked.♡

    In 19 years of living in France none of what you said was typical. We ate the biggest meal at lunch. Usually soup, salade in summer,, jambon, egg from the garden. Evening meal was late usually quite light. The meals you described and show are for special occasions. Breakfast can be a slice of jambon on the tenter hook & egg. Baguette was an every meal addition but no a whole one. Lunch again might be beef seared on the chiminee fire, green beans.

Sure not EVERY SINGLE french person eats that way, you couldn't possibly make a video for that, but these are certainly food we eat and some of us on a regular basis. Breakfast is pretty spot on for me but I guess your lunch looks more like my dinner and your dinner more like my lunch :)

    Healthy 21st century French meal from now. Breakfast: A French person from the geo-administrative centers of France can start the day with a healthy breakfast, such as a wholemeal croissant with goat cheese and tomatoes, accompanied by fresh fruit juice. Lunch: For lunch, he can opt for a quinoa salad with grilled vegetables and yogurt sauce, accompanied by homemade vegetable soup. Snack: For an afternoon snack, he can enjoy a berry smoothie with Greek yogurt and chia seeds, or a handful of nuts and dried fruit. Dinner: For dinner, he can enjoy a dish of mushroom risotto with spinach and parmesan cheese, followed by a fresh fruit dessert with some natural yogurt. These meal options are healthy, rich in nutrients and ideal for those who practice physical activities and care about a balanced diet. Furthermore, they are typical dishes from the central geo-administrative regions of France, known for its sophisticated and tasty cuisine.

You'll get your 3 -4 course meal spanning over the afternoon only on the weekend for family gathering, celebrations like weddings or baptisms or just during uneventful days if we feel like eating a lot. The only people I know who eat 3 courses meal are our older folks (like my grandparents who have their entree, a bigger middle course, cheese and a dessert), when I eat like this in my family it takes 30 minutes and that's it

    This is so cliché. That's the traditional last century urban society style (completely different in rural areas). Not every french person eats baguette for breakfast (I used to do it once every Sunday when I was still in France) and not always with salted butter and jam (ask a normand what they think of salted butter and you'll see). The meal is just a restaurant 3 course meal from Paris so not really representative of the food variety in other french regions and the average person would most likely just have one dish. French food has a lot of fat dishes (cassoulet, carbonade, tartiflette, choucroutes just to quote a few) + We say French food or French Cuisine but really it's French CuisineS as it traditonally changes with every region.
