What’s the difference between a brunch and a French breakfast?
For me there are one essential difference:
THE SCHEDULE: breakfast is often served before 9 or 10 a.m., while brunch is served from 10:30 or 11 a.m. until 2 p.m..
Brunch can almost replace lunch if it’s balanced and complete.
In short, it’s up to you, especially when you’re on vacation:)
