> The work environment is laid back, 40 hour weeks & rarely any expectation of going over that so there can be a very good work/life balance

There are quite some countries where Jo Average would see 40h working week as monsterous. Or were 40h workweek might even be outlawed.

It's an 8 hour day but 1 hour lunch, so technically 35 hours of work. Where are such things outlawed?

Any expectation of going over the paid amount of work time is not laid back.

Isn't that just France? And French people think basically everything is monstrous and worth rioting over.

Good luck to work just 35 or 40h in France in IT.
