And that’s what the preschoolers get.Six million French children eat tasty, healthy,…See More

"Another interesting difference is that the lunch period lasts one hour and a half in most French schools, which indeed enables children to "spend joyful, convivial moments together". This is how the French perpetuate their philosophy about…"
