Bonne matinée!


Explanation:
Another possibility is the above. It is what you MAY say at the END of a early morning meeting and means: 'enjoy the rest of your morning'. However, you would never say it as a greeting - see Bonjour - as you would never say 'bon matin'. Most poeple in this precise context would actually say 'bonne journée', instead of focusing just on the morning. All that to say that the first suggestion is best out of context and covers all situations, but this could be an appropriate parting phrase under specific circumstances.

e.g. \'Passe une bonne matinée, on se verra cet après-midi...\'. at the end of a conversation, NOT the beginning.
