In France, Sunday dinner is less of a meal and more of a national sport and equal parts tradition, theater, and cheese. It is the one time of the week when calories don’t count, time slows down (unless you are late to the table), and lively debates over roast recipes or wine pairings are practically mandatory. Families gather to eat, laugh, and wonder, yet again, why your favorite uncle is still banned from touching the cheese board. Welcome to Sunday night in France—where the food is divine, and the conversation is well-seasoned.
