{{lang|fr|Cinq à sept}} ({{small|French:}} {{IPAc-fr|s|in|q|à|s|è|t}}, literally 'five to seven') is a French-language term for activities taking place after work and before returning home (sometimes using overtime as an excuse), or for having dinner (roughly between 5 and 7 p.m.). It may also be written as {{lang|fr|5 à 7}} or 5@7. In QuebecIn Quebec French, the term stands for a social gathering. It may bring together friends or colleagues or may be organized around a specific event, such as a book launch or vernissage. Wine, beer, and cocktails are served along with finger foods and other hors d'oeuvres. Such a party held later may be named for the specific time (e.g. {{lang|fr|six à huit}}). A {{lang|fr|cinq à sept}} can be a formal gathering held in a wide range of public and private spaces, such as art galleries, University campuses, and places of work, but it is also commonly used more informally as a promotion in bars to attract patrons.[1]{{dead link|date=January 2019}} The English equivalent might be a semi-formal "wine and cheese" gathering or an informal "happy hour". In France{{lang|fr|Cinq à sept}} originally referred to a time for a tryst, and consequently is a metonym for visit to one's mistress, an extramarital affair, and the mistress involved. It derived from the time of day French people would make such a visit.[2] It is still commonly considered as the time of day to meet one's mistress or lover, and the term implies a sexual liaison (as opposed to the Quebec habit).
