Please notice this : breakfast is translated "petit déjeuner" in France but "déjeuner" in Switzerland. Difference is important because "déjeuner" in France mean "dinner" / "lunch".

So, how should it be tagged? 'French French'?

If this is a territorial variant, perhaps one should add a tag similar to POSIX type locales[1]. Seeing how French is spoken all over the world and this sentence may well be correct in Haiti and Algeria, it may be easier to drop the "French" tag and refer people to the comment in stead.
