Abstract
The family-leisure relationship is now well established as a subject of sociological interest in Great Britain and the United States. In France there has been little empirical research into the reciprocal influence of leisure and the family, but secondary sources provide both a coherent picture of this complex relationship and a basis for comparisons. Several important interlocking themes are discussed: the relationship between leisure and family roles and the effects of family constraints on time use; variations in leisure behaviour and expectations attributable to different stages in the family life cycle, social origins and family models, and the influence of these variables on leisure patterns.Keywords
