France also offers 4 months maternity leave (post natal), rising to 6 months if having a third child, and a playground on every other street. They also get mandatory 5 weeks holiday, on top of 11 days national holidays, and the official working week is set at 35 hrs, with anything on top accruing extra pay (the result is the French are some of the most productive workforces in the world).
