文化的背景

The 35-hour work week is a point of national pride. When people 'vont au travail', they are very conscious of their hours and rights. Commuting in Paris often involves the RER or Métro. 'Aller au travail' is synonymous with navigating the underground tunnels. In Quebec, you might hear 'aller à la job' (using the English word 'job' with a feminine French article). It's very common and informal. Belgians use 'aller au travail' just like the French, but they might use 'septante' or 'nonante' when telling you what time they go.
