]]> Not to breakfast in general, of course, but to breakfast that is included in your accommodations. You will definitely be charged a lot more than what the breakfast is really worth. More often than not, anyway, you’ll just get the standard petit de jeneur which usually means croissant, butter/marmalade and coffee or tea. You wouldn’t want to pay 10-20 euros for that!

croissantAnyway, make sure that you are not charged for breakfast.

And, rather than take what your hostel is offering (unless it is free, of course), you should head out for the local patisserie or boulangerie (pastry shop and bakery, respectively) and get your breakfast there.
