I think the thing I noticred most was that everything in France is smaller, like stoves, refrigerators, apartments . . .
They don't seem to have the need to own "huge" things. Perhaps space is at a premium; I'm not sure the reason, but everything is more compact.
Families tend to eat together too. In the US it's hard to find families who eat two meals a day together. Even more difficult to find in the US are Mom's who do most of their own cooking. This is the norm in France although as mother's go to work, it is slowly changing.
US restaurants seldom have seating for one or two. If you go in by yourself or as a couple, you are given a table for four (or more). In France you will be given a table for one or if you are a couple, a table for two. The tables are much closer together too because they don't talk very loud so you don't sit there listening to the conversation at the next table. It also makes Americans seem very loud when they are in a French restaurant.
Restaurants, tables and servings are smaller. Of course, so are the French. Hm, wonder why? LOL
