Casse-croûte, gamelle, souper de gala ou déjeuner dominical, le repas est un moment incontournable dans la vie sociale des Français. Couverte d'une toile cirée ou habillée d'élégantes nappes, campagnarde ou mondaine, la table s'alimente des produits du terroir et se colore au rythme des saisons. Des cafés 1900 aux fast-foods des années 1980 en passant par des images poignantes des deux guerres, soixante photographies en noir et blanc dressent des portraits originaux de la France à l'heure du repas. S'inspirant de ces images signées Robert Doisneau, Willy Ronis ou Édouard Boubat, la plume savoureuse de Noëlle Châtelet redonne vie à ces personnages anonymes à travers une trentaine de nouvelles, mettant en scène des familles nombreuses, des bourgeois ventripotents ou encore des enfants gourmands...
