What people wore

Trousers were rare for women

For much of this period, trousers on women were rare and socially unconventional for daily life, often restricted to casual settings like holidays or specific professional environments.

Music

Village Dances and Local Orchestras

In the 1950s and 1960s, rural village dances often featured a live orchestra of three or four musicians, typically including an accordionist, a drummer, and sometimes a saxophonist. Admission often cost a few francs, with proceeds supporting local associations or festival committees.

At the table

French dietary preferences in the 1960s
