Supermarkets in France have great displays of vegetables. Having been to France nearly every year for 15 years we have never seen a carrot, a pea, caulie,broccoli or any other veg in a restaurant. All you are offered is chips, rice OR green beans. Who eats all the French veg?
When they come over here and eat out they must be amazed at the choice of veg.

How odd. When you eat out in southern Spain, they always seem to offer you a brouhaha of tomatoes, potatoes, the odd onion, a sort of stew-veg. It's very nice but it's very predictable!

Try the wonderful Histoire Ancienne in Calais. It's very reasonably priced and you'll find 'et légumes du jour' on the end of many menu listings:

Yep, the ubiquitous sprout.
Is that the right word?

I can also recommend choosing the plat du jour here. The last time I was there the veg included artichoke hearts:
