French work week is 35 hours. They are guaranteed 2.5 vacation days per month or 30 days per year. 5 weeks of vacation, and employers don’t punish you for taking it. Finally, French women live 7 years longer than their US counterparts, while French men live 3 years longer. This may be due to better diet, less processed foods, or access to universal health care. However, the facts are indisputable. They work a little less, vacation more, and live longer. But feel free to mock them.
