The great breakfast question
After his grasse matinée, Bruno finally stumbles into the kitchen, but his breakfast is missing!
What should Bruno have? Tartines with butter and jam? A steaming chocolat chaud? A cup of chicorée?
Come tomorrow and tell us what you would serve Bruno.
We always have lovely conversations, and you are welcome with your camera on or off.
🥐 Did you know the croissant isn’t French?
Our Point Culture videos give you a little cultural insight to go with your French, and this one is a delicious surprise.
It’s all about les croissants, the star of the traditional French breakfast.
The story takes us back in time to the Turkish attack on Vienna, and to a Polish man who asked a baker to celebrate a famous victory in a very special shape.
You’ll discover why the French word viennoiserie has Vienna hiding inside it.
And you’ll hear a funny little anecdote about what some Parisians wear to the bakery in the morning. 😄
Watch, read, and listen to find out how the croissant got its crescent shape:
