   If you were French, you would go food shopping in the supermarket，but also in the weekly open market in your neighborhood．There you would find anything from fresh vegetables to fruits，bread，cheese and meat．They all come straight from the farm．You would eat three meals a day：breakfast when you get up in the morning，lunch at about noon and dinner at about eight o'clock in the evening．

   If you were French，in July or August，like almost all French school children，you would go on vacation with your parents．You would likely go to the seashore．In winter，you might go skiing in the Alps or Pyrenees．You would be sure to see many foreigners on vacation：millions of tourists go to France every year．
