Top Picks - Breakfast in Bed Menu  from your   Guide
Few things are as relaxing and romantic as a lazy morning, complete with breakfast in bed, steaming coffee, and the newspaper. Most French breakfasts are light according to American standards, consisting of coffee, sometimes hot chocolate, and a roll or toast. Here, I've padded the menu a bit to create a luxurious feast of easy recipes that will start any day on a good note.

1) Honeyed Fruit Salad Recipe
Perfect for breakfast, use this to garnish crepes or waffles. Use any leftovers to accompany a baguette, assorted cheese, and a bottle of spicy-sweet sparkling dessert wine for a lovely lunch.

2) Crepes with Salted Butter Caramel Recipe
Crepes with salted butter caramel is a classic Breton dessert. Salted caramel has a tangy, rich taste that has garnered a cult following. The best thing is that it's so easy to make. Add vanilla Chantilly cream and sauteed apples to your finished crepes for a truly impressive breakfast.

3) Chocolate Chaud Recipe
In 1643, Princess Maria Theresa of Spain brought a gift of chocolate to France, a royal chocolate maker was employed, and chocolate has been a rage ever since. Can you even imagine France without chocolate now? This breakfast treat is irresistible.
