Bon Appetit!
That little breaktfast («petit déjeuner»), which will usually be waited in your hotel, has tradition. Still less decades ago the lunch («déjeuner») consists in France of a five-course-menu – and, to tell the truth, who gives himself previously up to ordinary croissants and jam under those circumstances? Exactly! In these days full of hectic the meal is no more as opulent as it has been once upon a time. Meanwhile the French prefers to eat plentifully in the evening (but caused by that the breakfast will not get larger yet). Our tip: Use the advantageous lunch menus. With them the gastronomes try to fill their cafés, brasseries and restaurants at noon. Enjoy your meal!
