🕒 Try to get lunch in a French town at 3:00 PM and most kitchens will turn you away. About half of France eats lunch at 1:00 PM, kitchens close around 2:00, and dinner starts around 7:00. If the door says “service continu”, that kitchen stays open through the afternoon. Have you ever been turned away at 3 PM?

Is 3pm call to prayer? I'm not familiar with Muslim majority countries like France
If the place has gas-station and fast-food it is open…
Seems like people eat when the restaurants are open…
Shut kitchens at 3 isnt unusual or specifically french, theres plenty of places in australia like that. Who the hell considers 3pm to be lunchtime?
France and their very rare beef is wild. Gimme mine at 135 ° F And I'm happy. Not 100 haha
This is why the US is the greatest country on the planet. Such stupid shit will not happen in the US. They go all out and don't succumb to dumb rules like this.
