The French baguette

UNESCO has just made the French baguette part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of humanity, and the French delegation is wildin out there.'


We have had many wonderful baguettes in our time in France. In our first trip to France we were surprised that households bought bread in the morning for breakfast then fresh bread again for the evening meal.You really did need to do that as there weren't any preservatives.Local bakers got up early to make the morning loaves.Things have changed but our wonderful little village of Carqueiranne had 5 bakeries.I'm sure that has changed too.
