Cinq à sept ("five to seven") is a Quebec French term for a time in the afternoon intended to be spent with friends or colleagues, enjoying light pre-theatre meals, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres or to escape rush hour traffic. A "cinq à sept" is held before the formal dinner hours, before the participants eat in restaurants) and is not strictly between five and seven o'clock.

However, to the French this phrase means a time (after work but before you return home to your family) when you are free to do as you please, and particularly to commit infidelities ^[1].
