When I was in Paris, our continental breakfast invariably consisted of a bread basket (filled with croissants, brioches, petit pains, and baguettes), sweet butter, jam and marmalade, a jug of fresh orange juice, and a pot of hot, strong coffee (though I suppose tea was also available). It was a wonderful way to start the day!
