Homage to French Baguette, UNESCO List

Now part of UNESCO's list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

UNESCO has just made the French baguette part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

UNESCO aims at preserving cultural heritage around the world.

Why French baguette?

It is not only food but also an important symbol of culture.

France produces around 16 million baguettes a day. I love it!

“The baguette is a daily ritual, a structuring element of the meal, synonymous with sharing and conviviality,” Azoulay, UNESCO.

The loved baguette is now with other foods and culinary cultures on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

“The baguette is as important as the Eiffel Tower in the French gastronomy.” — Marc Thuet, a Toronto-based chef.
