Around the world1973–1974

The oil crisis

Daily life

Improving domestic sanitation and running water

In 1954, only 10 percent of French households had a shower or bathtub, and over 40 percent lacked running water. By the end of the period, the majority of the population had gained access to fully equipped, modern dwellings.

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

Dance Rituals and Social Life

The village dance served as an important social hub where attendees danced the waltz, tango, paso doble, and the java. Mothers often accompanied their daughters to these events, which functioned as both popular celebrations and unofficial marriage markets.

At the table

Frozen food usage grew rapidly

Between the 1970s and 1990s, French household consumption of frozen foods increased significantly, as families sought practical alternatives to traditional cooking due to time constraints.
