Answer:
Eating in France

Breakfast in France (Petit Déjeuner) consists of coffee, tea or chocolate with croissants and bread with butter or jam.

Lunch (Déjeuner) is served from noon until 2 pm. Don’t wait any longer or the restaurant kitchens close up after that time until dinnertime. Traditionally the French ate their main meal of the day at lunchtime; however, this has changed with modern times. Lunch can consist of a five course meal or a simple salad or sandwich. Other options include the "plat du jour" (dish of the day) in a tavern, or a croques-monsieur, a toasted ham and cheese sandwich. Street stalls sell potato chips, crêpes, gauffres and all type of sandwiches in baguette bread.

Dinner (Diner) is served from 7:30 pm onwards. It could be a little earlier in smaller towns. The French themselves usually eat at around 8 pm and this meal is usually a leisurely event, time to spend with the family or with friends. At some restaurants, you can expect full 5 or even 7 course meals.

They eat, sleep, eat, drink, work, go on vacation, eat, sleep, drink.
I visited France appr. 10 years ago. From what I remember it is h'oerderves first(cheese, pate and bread/crackers and wine of course.) Then it is some sort of salad (ex. carrot or a funny kind of onion with a vinegar dressing)with more wine. Then comes your main course which is very delicate with some more wine. Finally, you end with some kind of delicious dessert and what else MORE WINE. By the end of the meal you are feeling pretty good.
Desi chef is right on the money. The one thing I will add, and this mainly pertained to Paris, many Cafes' will serve to 2 am.
