Schooling interrupted by child labor
Poor children often missed school to work as shepherds or errand boys, struggling to learn because they fell behind whenever they were pulled away for labor.
What people wore
Limited Wardrobes for Humble Women
Many humble women owned only two outfits: one for daily work and one for Sundays or feast days.
Music
Social gatherings and lively dances
Ordinary people often enjoyed social gatherings in tabernas or outdoor settings where they participated in dances like the fandango, which was both sung and danced. These lively gatherings featured instruments like guitars and bagpipes to animate the atmosphere.
At the table
Bread was the daily staple food
Bread made up seven-eighths of the working-class diet in Paris, while families often added stewed pears, roasted apples, or small amounts of pork or bacon in winter.
