Not France, on account of the French.
On a serious note, I lived in rural France for a few years and the ridiculous bureaucracy, the lackadaisical attitude to everything, and the 4 hour breaks in the middle of the day drove me insane.
4 hours breaks in the middle of the day? I live in the bad part of France it seems, I'd love to have that.
This was St. Mathieu in Haute-Vienne. Most days everything was shutdown from around 11am until 2.30 / 3pm.
It'sโฆ in the middle of nowhere. Not the kind of place you go to have a busy life ๐
But low key that sounds like an amazing place to take a relaxing vacation.
Almost none of that seems relevant for tourism. I also as a tourist in France on several occasions never noticed anything shutting down middle of the day, but I was never in rural France. I assume OP may not start their adventure in rural areas either.
