Beautiful breakfast spreads in Brittany. Homemade nordic bread with linen seeds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds, organic fruit (some picked from the neighbor’s garden) and peach pineapple fig juice.

Serious perk of staying with lovely nutritionist Carole at Les Pianos du Bonhomme? Beautiful breakfast spreads each morning. Carole, owner of the property and chef/nutritionist on site, knows how to prepare a fresh, locally sourced French petit dejeuner. An assortment of homemade breads and jams, homemade yogurt, organic fruits from the local market or her neighbor’s garden, fruit smoothies, freshly baked breakfast pastries, and the region’s specialties: miel de Bretagne (honey) and Brittany’s famous salted caramel butter. My favorite of the breads: Nordic bread with linen seeds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds. Gracious Carole shares all of her recipes with her guests, but better yet, grab an apron and join her in the kitchen.
