Full English Breakfast?

Hello

This may be a silly question, but where can i get a good full english in biarritz? or is it all continental ham and cheese?

Is there a good water park slides etc, if not do any local camps offer good pool facilities on a day basis?

thx

A typical French breakfast is bread and pastry (usually croissants), and yoghurt. Sometimes you%26#39;ll also find hard-boiled eggs. The bakery goodies will have been baked just that morning (and may well still be warm), and are served with butter and (usually) wonderful preserves. It would be bordering on a high crime to pass up such a treat for a plate full of eggs and sausage. (I like full English breakfasts...in England, ta.)

The coffee is wonderful, too.

Germany is the ham and cheese for breakfast place -- not that there%26#39;s anything wrong with that; I quite like it, too!

Please enjoy the French breakfast, and save the full English for your return home.

Gosh, I imagine english artery clogging breakfasts are served at serveral of the resort hotels that cater to the British LOL

You may find your hotel serves such food, or at least may be able to tell you where to go,, but come on, you can give up the %26quot; heart attack on a plate%26quot; breaky for a week or two,, the jam and crossiants are very yummy, and yogurt , ( and ham and cheese often are served on hotel buffets ) will give you the protien you need( my one complaint is I feel I should eat some protien at breakfast to keep me full longer, but, I do love ham and cheese so no big probelm for me. )

For a full english you will need to find an Irish pub that opens in the morning. Even hotels with a full hot buffet can%26#39;t manage it. At best you%26#39;ll get a plate of beans, tomato, mini-sausages, fried/scrambled eggs and very fatty streaky bacon. It still won%26#39;t seem like a full english though as the ingredients are always the wrong sort of sausage, bacon etc etc etc.

Can you guess I miss it living in France?

I would say forget it and go all out to do a proper French breakfast - i.e. actually walk to the bakers yourself in the morning to get fresh croissants and baguettes, put plenty of butter on the bread but not the croissants (they%26#39;re made with butter) and spoon (don%26#39;t use a knife it%26#39;s just wrong) over loads of apricot jam (has to be apricot in my opinion). Have large cups of fresh brewed coffee and make plenty of slurping noises while drinking it. All the while think of Alan Partridge doing his Kowing Me, Knowing You special from Paris - A-HA.

Regarding the second question, there are no water park slides - it isn%26#39;t really geared up for that sort of thing.

There is a good municipal indoor swimming pool by the casino.

There is a cafe on rue de l%26#39;Atalye (?) which has huge pink chairs - looks a bit tacky, but does OK cooked breakfasts. Sorry can%26#39;t remember the name but from the top ,car park entrance (ie non sea) end of Place Eugenie head down the hill away from the town centre ~ 50 metres on the right hand side you%26#39;ll see the place.
