Big fat mistake
When my mom was in France, she always bought bottles of milk that said lait. My mom read it /lait/, because she didn't speak French, and she thought it was 'light', i.e. non-fat milk. But no, the milk was whole milk and she gained 6 lbs. She was really shocked and angry! Lait is simply the French word for 'milk'.

No! ¶Ù±ð³¾¾±-鳦°ù鳾é is 1/2 creamed (semi skimmed) You can only get skimmed in long life (鳦°ù鳾é).
Yes, demi-鳦°ù鳾é is like reduced-fat milk. I haven't seen fat free milk in France yet, and suppose that it wouldn't be popular there...
Or in Canada, you can also ask for milk by percentage of fat (ie. skimmed milk is 0%, you can also get 1% and 2% milk).
Chris, »å±ð³¾¾±-³¦°ùè³¾±ð will put pounds on you, it is half-and-half cream! Skimmed milk is lait 鳦°ù鳾é, you were possibly thinking of lait demi-鳦°ù鳾é, semi-skimmed milk.
·¡³¦°ù鳾é (skimmed) is very easy to find in France. UHT or long life is the most common milk in supermarkets anyway.
Full-fat is LAIT ENTIER.
I think the colour coding is nationwide (everywhere the same) which is not the case in the UK where it varies from brand to brand!
