I get a chance to experience some of those later this week - I'm flying to Paris for a course.
French air traffic controllers...
Tempted to agree with you (in part) on the food. While I don't think there's a lot of difference between a decent British restaurant and a decent French restaurant (except that the French use a little too much garlic for my taste), one key advantage of eating in France is that you can drive to a small town, stop, go into a small restaurant and it will be pretty good. In this country, it would be much more of a lottery.
Couldn't really comment on the drink (I don't touch the alcoholic variety), although I am partial to an orangina.
Not sure about the work-life balance thing. Put it this way - I don't have problems with mine. I usually go home on time, I live about 35 minutes' drive from the office, and I'm part-time. Oh, and I live in the country (both an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a World Heritage Site). So I can't really complain
