Peasant Life
Peasants in France did not have many rights. If they owned land, chances are it was really owned by a higher authority. Laws forbid having a house past a certain size if you were a peasant. Most peasants had a diet of mostly bread and potatoes. If they had meat it would be the cheapest meat, like the scraps of the animal. For work, men tended the lands while women took care of the house and children.
