Land of the Long Lunch

I understand that France has a standard 35-hour working week. Can anyone tell me if that means 9-5 with an hour for lunch, or is it really 9-4 (or something) with an hour (or whatever) for lunch, so less than 35 actual working hours?

Just curious, since I have more experience with 35-hour days than with 35-hour weeks.

1 I thought a normal working day was 3 to midnight with no lunch break....

2 You get to go home at midnight? My longest working day ever was 54 hours. Don't try this at home, kids! (Not unless you get double-time plus for working back-to-back shifts, anyway.)

3 Leave it to the French to make it illegal to actually produce. What a catatonic and languid self-pittying shit-hole Europe must be by now...

4 Parts of it actually seem quite nice. I'd really like to visit the Czech and Slovak republics, and Hungary, for instance. Oh, and the British Museum. Florence, and Tuscany in general. Southern Spain.
