Cultural Tip
In France, many people plan their meals around three main dishes a day, often with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Discussing a "plan de repas" can be a way to share cooking tips, coordinate potlucks, or simply show interest in someone's culinary habits. Remember that breakfast (le petit‑déjeuner) is usually light, lunch (le déjeuner) is the biggest meal, and dinner (le dîner) is lighter but still important for family time.
