The French probably have the most seductive notion of breakfast - a good cup of coffee and a croissant.

Among the best croissants in the Washington area - because of their authentic high butter content - are those baked by Patisserie Poupon, 1645 Wisconsin Ave NW, 202 342 3248, Saint Michel Bakery, 5540 Wilkins Court, Rockville and at the Montgomery Farm Women's Cooperative on Wisconsin Ave, Bethesda, and the Golden Croissant French Bakery, 1313 E. Gude Dr, Rockville, 301 340 7036.
