Yaourt vs. lait fermente

So I went to the store and decided to get some yogurt because I absolument love french yogurt.  It is plus creamy and delicieux than american yogurt (which I clearly love already).  My thought process when selecting the yogurt was "what is not ridiculously high in calories and fat?" so I picked the monoprix (the grocery store) brand and went home.  The next day, I was on my second carton and I finally realized that it was not yogurt (yaourt) but fermented milk (lait fermente).

It looks like yogurt, it tastes like yogurt, and now I am beginning to think that it is infact yogurt. But for awhile it was funny to me that I didn't realize that it had a different name and I didn't read the label closely enough to notice.  I read it closely enough to choose vanilla and to check out the nutrition stats, but that was all I saw.  Good times.
