breakfast would include • fresh fruit • fromage blanc (a delightful fresh cheese with a consistency similar to yogurt that can be eaten with a sprinkling of sugar) • a slice from last night’s tart (usually apple, apricot, or strawberry—homemade by Madame Chic) • toasted baguette with jam, otherwise known as a tartine (the jam always homemade—strawberry, blackberry, and orange marmalade being her favorites)
