French people eat usually only sweet at breakfast (when they take any breakfast). So it's a lot of bread with butter, jam, also croissants, pains au chocolat, etc... The egg at breakfast is very exceptional but exists. Then it's generally a soft-boiled egg. French people have quite an original way to eat eggs :) . Well, at least you've seen

Very true. But you can replace it by the fact that French people eat a lot of bread. So much that in most restaurants bread is free, as well as water.
