Typically, adults have coffee, usally cafe au lait (coffee with a lot of milk) and some bread and maybe a glass of juice.

The Anglo-American breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausages, potatoes and toast is not popular.

On a menu the typical french breakfast would be described something like this:

Corbeille de mini viennoiseries et pain Ã lâ€™ancienne
Servie avec beurre, miel et confiture,
jus dâ€™orange ou pamplemousse frais pressÃ©,
cafÃ©, thÃ© ou chocolat

Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, "chicorÃ©e".
Croissants, pains au chocolat, brioches or "tartines" of french bread with butter and marmelade.
Orange juice.

Newspaper and cigarettes!

Forget the eggs, ham, sausages, bacon and eggs.

We do not eat that sort of thing at bkfst.

Normally we have cofee (with cold milk) or tea, juice (orange, grappefruit).

Sometimes a yougourth but not often.

Cereals is mostly for kids or teenagers. (well i'm not a kid anymore but i still have them sometimes when i feel like it or when i dieting)

And when we are not working on sunday or so, we have sometimes, croissant, or "viennoiseries" (danish croissant ...)

(sorry no french toast )

Bread, with butter and ham, but i don't think it is all the time, in french except on holidays or during our days off, we don't take the time to have a proprer breakfast.

For exemple when i'm working i have a black coffee and...a cigarette...

for petit dejeuner, the french have:

juice
milk
coffe
hot chocolate
croissant
jam
butter
bread
brioche
cereals
honey
nutella

that's all they have. they DO NOT have cheese, ham or sausages. The french breakfast is very simple, very sweet and not at all nutricious.....

Breakfast is not a big meal in most parts of France. Often, just coffee and some kind of pastry (croissant, etc) or rolls with some jam and butter. Some juice, maybe, but that's about it!
(hence, the name "petit" in the name)
