at a time whehen most o of humanity's confined because of code nineteen points twenty four. the difference is yourur call to the. the best day began. at two am et. the french almost never work and there's the thirty five hour week all that the cation time and of coursese those majoror lunch brs with wine that is of course the stereotype genie but working life in france moved to cover i certainly is the source of a lot of wild rumors abroad. you might be surprised t to learn thouough that french workerers e among some of the most productive in the world so then why does the myth of the lazy french employees still persist join us for this month french connection was where we explore what it's really like. to work in france. what are the reason

why french people have the reputation of being on vacation all the time is because they kind of are compared to other countries and there is definitely a fascination with france's generous. them record many of the seven questions about that give us the detailils willll in france employees get a minimum of thirty days off a year thirty paid days off and that's's a lot more than other eeu countries where by law they have to provide twenty days and that's a lot more than the united states in fact the u. s. is the only industrialized nation where by law employers don't have to get paid holiday to their employees and what's funny is here in france some foreigners say that they almost have too much time off they don't know what to do with all these closely pay yet but trust me you do get used to it. as for friend people they have their ancestors. thank you very

generous system. hey vacation days lee quincy bay he was voted into law in june nineteen thirty six by a coalition of left wing parties called listed with you guys. at the time employees were granted two weeks off. it was a victory for the working class a cultural revolution and marked the beginning of mass tourism. two weeks turned into three in the nineteen fifties and four in the sixties and ultimately five in the nineteen eighties. but a lot of people get a lot more than thirty days all depending on the job they do. july and august are months reserved for long vacations in france and there are two schools of thought here. those who leave in july leisure yet please and those who believe in august. that was him. these rival groups cross paths once a year and a chaotic traffic dance copernicia. see quincy. do the summer parts of. for shut down. people joke that august is the best time to visit paris because all the parisians are out of town. on top of the course. french workers can

count on eleven public holidays. paid time off to something french people are attached to. many see it as a hard earned right they deserve. and when they're not on vacation french people have the reputation of working just thirty five hours a week but is that really the case well the short answer is not really at least not. everyone there are some people who work thirty five hours a week but they tend to be in public employment were paid by the hour. but the truth of the matter is a lot of people work a lot more than thirty five hours a week for instance independent business owners they're not even concerned by the law. and as for francis twenty five million employees they too tend to work more than thirty five hours a week in fafact on average. they work about thirty nine hours a week so more than thirty five but definitely less than countries like. the united stateses and the u. k. but still thirty five hours a week is the legal limit here in france and anyone who works over that limit is entitled to overtime pay. or more i'm not that's right it has a name in france it's cold and or t. t. x. dot

com by. it's kind of like an extra vacation days now a friend. of the thirty five hour. i think it's really importrtant can we t the- call p of. france's was. i'm here at let the models which is a co working space in the fifth.. in the small o of pariss and i'm joined by moscow jewel let international businessman three nationalities you've- spent half your life. a working in france half your life working- in north america working for companies such as- apple bose technicolor hp kodak alaris. that you have insider knowledge of what it's like to work here in france. what it's like to work abroad what do you think

the biggest differences are in work culture. first of all both countries have pros and cons of the work environments the biggest differences. i'd say around the relationship between employoyees and the pothole the boss i thinknk others a big big difference there. the relationship to work life balance-e- and there might have to give french and edge there that maybe figured out that- the corporates- and i think the geneneral approach to success. and some people abroad say french. are easy for work a first because perhaps the- in. hours at the place but when you look at statistics are actually incredibly. productive in fact some statistics put them on par with the united states where. i do think that that reputation comes from. and does it surprise youou that french workers as the- productive. i think the reputation comes. decades of strikes in the river. for and to come infnfite againi. i heard it on the shelf and it. the that's the reputation. as

which- does. but you can't kind of get the entire. pop working with that brought brush stroke and let's get to the work life. because decently up government. vote in of the right to do this. the why that they could. you do you really think there that cultural the do you think. that's put more importance in howw. frfree time all. french think of under the should take.. this amount off stay tuned long weekend up take a week off d do you have a- casese thank. for being our labor. and. don't have time. ben and hierarchy here in france what i've observed is that the frerench stilill has maybe this revolutionary spirit distributes the class the class. struggle and that the

bosses are not a admired as they may be in united states and bosses are people that are- firing laying off people making too much money. taking advantage of the system and i find that that's unfortunate but in general that is reputatition of france has. and frenench people alslso have thte rereputation o of having a hard time talking a about money or perhaps even being ashamed of. making money do you think that plays into the work environment absolutely- i think- the inotes that's making money is something that celebrated something. i would say envy but someththing that emulateses and motivates people- in france there's cultural stigma around money and success which is unfortunate- and people who want to be successful or want to make money. on forty flee france and go t to the u. k. occurred silicon valley where there's a lot more freedom- and a positive c connotation of success. we're here in a co working space which is quite a modern concept here in france do you think that work culture is changing. i i think france is becoming more e of a s start u p nation- and that's a great wonderful thank it allows- onto. this start the companies

here and stay in france andnd- joe. itit'll the m mentors in te a. in silicon valley or in london so i think that's a very good thing hopefully will be sustained- and it's somethiningi think for this younger generations millennial generation they're used to this and- i think that's if france can- keep them in france it'll be good for the french economy so it seems like a work culture is changing it herere in france will havave to see whahat happes in the years to come thank you so much a could play. for being our guest here on construction costs. meals of course are sacred here in france a and that includes during working hours recent studies say the french takes s some of the longest lunh breaks in the world you're absolutelyly right genie for a majority of french people take more than thirty. minutes for their lunch break during the working week in a lot of them take a lot more than that so. it's more than other countries for instance in the united states of the uk. where most people take less than a half an hour and because of this. it's kind of hard to reach people between. twelve thirty and two

pm. but attitudes have changed over the years and the real sit down meal withh your colleagues. could be changing into s. which at your desk automatic. twenty years ago french people took an average of an hour and a half for the lunch break often with wine. could the boozy business lunch as of yesterday the on the waway out. let's ask some real french people to find out. lucy we do do media media center of the box a burglar in the media you know. you know it you can give him all the time only about him as a unit committee one or one hour and else and- after we have to go back- work because- our bosses- waiting for us. go outside once a week mosost of thee time. but usually we were we mobile my boxixing the console bleach prospect mall what else. at posted goal selinger manacled.
