France: The More Things Change...

Writing in Der Spiegel, Mathieu von Rohr on nostalgia and reform in France. An excerpt:

Both sides of the French psyche are in full evidence in Paris, where long lunches seem to be an essential part of doing business. Some French employees are entitled to more than 40 vacation days a year. Conversely, many work longer days than their German counterparts. And there is also an elite consciousness among those at the top of society, which they have worked hard to earn in management schools and top universities.
