B-Puzzle 
Beachfront property? SAND
Covert theme’s are easily missed, but in this case…
Belch, say EMIT [well that failed the breakfast test I should think]
As for the French, 1 for 3 is good in baseball --- less so puzzle entries:
LIVRE is not good but
APERCU is.
Bardot’s “the same” EGAL [
Egal et meme sont different: egal = equal; meme = same.]
It came to my attention that the puzzle offered every clue with the letter B making the theme more worthy than I had originally thought. So, if it's not too late (5 months later) I'd like to change the rating to 
.
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
