The term for breakfast in France, le petit déjeuner, literally translates to 'little lunch,' the first indication that breakfast in France is often considered the least significant meal of the day. A typical French breakfast often consists of nothing more than an espresso accompanied by light breakfast foods like a croissant or tartine-no eggs in sight.
In contrast to many countries where breakfast often features savory elements like cheese, cold meats, eggs, or bacon, typical French breakfast food leans towards sweetness and a heavy emphasis on carbohydrates.
