Does France have a sieste

Answer 1

I am not completely sure about the whole of France,but I know that Provence has a sieste. The sieste was developed for tired field workers. They would wake up in the early morning, (like 6:00 AM ), have an afternoon sieste, then start work later at night. Once more mechanical machinery started being developed, there was not much of a reason for a sieste, (because the fields would be plowed by tractors) but there are still some in Provence who take an afternoon nap. Hope this helps!
