I grew up in the 90s in Marseille, in the very south of France. At school we had 2 hours lunch break and it was great to have so much time to play outside and all, but now that I think of it: it was in Marseille, it was virtually always sunny and warm, I really don't know how it was for kids in other part of France where it rains and/or it's cold quite often. What I remember from that time too is that at the commercial center of my neighborhood the lunch break was four hours, from 12h to 16h. In summer it was because it was too hot to really do anything during these hours anyway, but it was also the case in the winter and that has always puzzled me, even as a child.
