Cultural Tip
In France, petit‑déjeuner is usually light: a coffee or tea, a croissant, pain au chocolat, jam‑tartine, or a bowl of cereal. Saying “préparer le petit‑déjeuner” often implies you’re making something more elaborate (e.g., cooking eggs, heating milk for café au lait). For a quick, everyday breakfast, many people simply say “prendre le petit‑déjeuner”.
