What people wore

Restricted clothing for men and boys

To save fabric during the occupation, official regulations prohibited trouser cuffs and restricted men to having only one pocket per pair of trousers. Boys were also required to wear short trousers until the age of 15.

Music

Instruments for dancing in France

People danced to the accordion, bagpipes, and the vielle, a traditional string instrument played by turning a wheel. Between the wars, the accordion became the dominant instrument for popular dances across France.

Daily life

Traditional food preservation methods

To keep food fresh in homes without modern appliances, families used "garde-manger," which were ventilated cupboards or fine-mesh cages suspended in cool rooms, cellars, or kitchens. Meat was sometimes preserved by covering it in oil or searing it in a pan.
