connolls Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi Val2,I'm confused..............we provide breakfast in the Chambres D'Hote as part of the "contract" ?Should we not be feeding our guests at breakfast or is it the "type" of breakfast ?Thanks Mel.Anglo-Info information site.............Chambre d'HôteA chambre d'hôte may have no more than five bedrooms and accommodate at most 15 guests. It offers:Furnished accommodation With linen provided, and the room cleaned On a night-by night basis With breakfast included in the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Isn't there something about eating with the guests in a Chambre d'Hôte, (morning or evening) as opposed to just giving them breakfast in a B&B?Just a vague memory of a discussion I once had...

connolls Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi NormanH,Yes, that's correct, as part of the "family experience".............although in practice we'd be lucky to get chance to have a bit of toast and a quick cuppa and it would certainly be a long breakfast for us as we serve from 8am- 9.30am !!And our guests can come down to eat any time between those times.Hope the season has gone well for everyone.Kind Regards Mel.

UK = a greasy horrible heart attack on a place or in France, a light continental with bread/croissant, chocolate/mil/coffee etc.Thats the difference and in cost too.

Gardengirl Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 UK breakfasts and French breakfasts are the same at home in our family - cereals, fruit juice or smoothy, bananas, fennel tea or coffee - very enjoyable! I've also had some dreadful breakfasts in France, along with the lovely ones with a wide range of fruit, cheeses, meats, yogurts etc on offer along with bread, croissants and cereals. I wish more places offered pain au chocolat instead of boring croissants - although there are poor versions of those around too! One of our many boulangeries does absolutely delicious pain au chocolat - probably just as well they have often sold out when we get there!

Brioche here is more for goûter than breakfast. We have croissants perhaps once per month but usually OH has his two slices of 0% brown bread and I have just coffee.

NormanH Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I always think that the standard French breakfast is a recipe for diabetes; just sugar and stodge.Croissants and or Tartine with jam ....In Hospital I managed to get a slice of ham and a slice of cheese instead..

idun Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Truthfully, I like fried food. I do. Depends on the stodge, but there is quite a lot of stodge I am quite partial to too.[Www]Diabetes, well, that is something I do wonder about, so we'll see what gets thrown at me in the future. But heart attacks, well I have normal cholesterol and a lowish blood pressure, so I don't really think about them really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val_2 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Our local collège has a breakfast laid on for 6eme during their first week there to show them that they should eat something substantial before school as many leave early and the parents who work cannot be bothered to feed them first. It came about when my daughter first started there as lots of kids were fainting halfway through the morning and it was discovered they have no breakfasts in their homes.

Cendrillon Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Nah, they do this with the finished one just before they light the next one, I guess the fag ash adds body to the coffee.[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
